Project Veritas, the conservative nonprofit organization that aims to expose corruption and misconduct in both public and private institutions, is undergoing a major leadership change. According to rumors that started circulating yesterday, the organization’s founder, James O’Keefe, may be demoted from his leadership position and become an ordinary cameraman. Confirming the rumors, Project Veritas released a statement that the board of directors and management are undergoing an internal evaluation to ensure the organization’s long-term success.
The move to remove O’Keefe from his leadership role has not come without controversy. As it was revealed in a leaked memo to The Daily Beast, some employees have complained that O’Keefe has been cruel and publicly humiliated employees. Despite this, many supporters of the organization still believe that O’Keefe’s drive and vision is necessary for the success of Project Veritas.
Critics argue that some of the board of directors and donors are unhappy with the negative publicity generated by the recent suspension of Project Veritas from Twitter, as well as the behavior of a Pfizer employee who had a meltdown. Meanwhile, O’Keefe himself is reportedly concerned about potential leaks from employees.
Regardless of the reasons behind the leadership change, it is clear that Project Veritas is undergoing a major transformation. With 65 employees dedicated to continuing the mission of exposing corruption, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the organization.
