Project Veritas ceases operations, lays off all remaining journalists

Seven months after James O'Keefe announced he'd been ousted from Project Veritas, the company he founded in 2010 has imploded. Former Veritas employee and investigative reporter Bobby Harr announced that Project Veritas has suspended all operations effective immediately, which The Post Millennial later confirmed.

"BREAKING: Project Veritas suspends all operations effective immediately," Harr wrote on Wednesday. "CEO @HannahMGiles and Jen Kiyak of Human Resources cite financial ruin as reason for additional layoffs on 9/20/23 leaving merely a handful of employees left. All investigations halted as of today."

A source close to the matter told The Post Millennial that the journalists who were left on staff after the August 17 mass firing were terminated on Wednesday. The journalists who had remained were essentially relegated to fundraising, as the company was floundering.

"SOS Hannah Giles just fired us all," read a swiftly deleted tweet on August 17. Giles, who became notorious for starring in the ACORN video with founder and former CEO James O'Keefe that launched the company, took over for O'Keefe after he was summarily pushed out by the board of directors. She took over as CEO only to destroy the company entirely.

"Since James quit," a source told Post Millennial, "the donations dried up...the donations never resumed. The board were desperate to bring Hannah on board because they thought it would be cute but the problem is she's a charlatan and a fraud. Everything she's ever done has been a failure and she lied to everyone claiming she had all these donors she could bring in."

In February, O'Keefe stated that he had been suspended from his position as CEO. This came after 16 staffers sent a letter to the Project Veritas board of directors accusing O'Keefe of financial misdeeds and employee harassment.

They were excellent at getting undercover videos of those selling aborted baby parts. Other exposes as well.

Which libs decried as “deceptively edited” though he also posted all of the raw footage.

He’s one of the good ones.

I think Steven Crowder is also working with a group doing investigative work.

James O’Keefe in his OMG group are still doing investigations and exposing criminality while Project Veritas went into a holding pattern and then.... died.

Good riddance to the leftist saboteurs that won a pyrrhic victory.

Did anything they invested stick? I can’t remember if they actually got any indictments and wins.

So you believe investigative journalists have prosecutorial powers?

It's not James' fault we have a corrupt justus system that only prosecutes political crimes against their political enemies.

His job is to expose the cockroaches. After that it is up to us.

Hey Project Veritas, I may be going out on a limb here, but I think you guys made a mistake by canning James. Oh, and please don’t be offended while I chuckle a bit.
