The fired founder of conservative nonprofit Project Veritas is under investigation by a suburban New York prosecutor’s office for allegedly mistreating workers and misspending organization funds
FILE - James O'Keefe, president of Project Veritas Action, waits to be introduced during a news conference at the National Press Club, Sept. 1, 2015, in Washington. The founder of Project Veritas, a conservative nonprofit known for its hidden camera stings, is under investigation by a suburban New York prosecutor’s office in the latest fallout after O'Keefe's ouster from the group over allegations that he mistreated workers and misspent organization funds.
Jin Whang, a spokesperson for District Attorney Mimi Rocah, declined to discuss the subject or details of the investigation, or what potential charges, if any, O’Keefe could face. Whang cautioned that investigations can have a variety of outcomes, not necessarily resulting in criminal charges.
The organization sued O’Keefe in May, accusing him of breaching his contract with “incredibly troubling workplace and financial misconduct,” including screaming at colleagues, exposing employees to obscene messages and having staffers run errands for him, such as picking up laundry and cleaning his boat.
According to the lawsuit, Project Veritas’ board had intended to reinstate O’Keefe from his suspension “with appropriate safeguards,” but ultimately terminated his employment in May after he claimed in media interviews that the organization had fired him to appease a pharmaceutical company over its reporting on COVID-19.Joe Biden
