Project Veritas Board Places James O’Keefe On Paid Leave While They Consider Firing Him Only Days After Pfizer Video Is Released
By Amber Crawford
James O’Keefe, the founder and President of Project Veritas, has been forced to take a paid leave from the conservative nonprofit media organization as the board discusses whether he should be removed from his leadership position at the company. This report has shocked both supporters and enemies of the news organization, with many wondering whether Project Veritas would continue its success without O’Keefe’s leadership.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Project Veritas employees received an email from the company’s executive director, Daniel Strack, informing them that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.”
Strack’s email said that it was “a distracting time” and told employees that, at a recent board meeting, they had discussed “the health of the organization.” The letter added that, while they “have not come up with final solutions,” they “have made a few immediate decisions.”
Included in the board’s “immediate decisions” was the reinstatement of two Project Veritas executives, both of whom had reportedly been fired recently by O’Keefe.

In a later statement released by Strack, he said, “Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization.”
