The founder and current CEO of Project Veritas James O’Keefe have just been placed on paid leave by members of the Project Veritas board.
Multiple sources have confirmed Project Veritas’ board will keep O’Keefe on paid leave until they come to a conclusion on whether or not they should remove him from leadership.
The move by the board couldn’t have come at a more suspicious time considering O’Keefe along with an undercover journalist recently exposed Pfizer by secretly filming Pfizer director of research Jordon Trishton Walker and filmed him saying Pfizer is “mutating” the COVID virus themselves through “directed evolution.”

Project Veritas without James O'Keefe doesn't sound like a lot of fun, you guys.

The Intelligencer had more details to add:
James O’Keefe, the founder and chairman of Project Veritas, has taken a paid leave from the conservative nonprofit media organization as its board considers whether to remove him from his leadership position, according to current and former employees of the organization.
An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.” An image of the message was shared by a source familiar with the organization’s internal operations, and its authenticity was confirmed by a current employee. When reached for comment on his personal cell phone, O’Keefe said nothing in response and did not respond to follow-up calls and text messages.
Through a Project Veritas spokesman, Strack later released a statement on behalf of the organization. “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,” the statement read in part. It did not directly address questions about O’Keefe’s employment status. “There are 65+ employees at Project Veritas dedicated to continuing the mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions,” the statement read. “To our supporters: We hear you, we care about you, and we will never give up.”
They’re coming after James O’Keefe right after he took down Pfizer
