Project Veritas released a December undercover video alleging misuse and fraud in the EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. The video, highlighted by a New Republic article, contributed to a narrative that fueled political opposition to the program by promoting misleading claims and partisan rhetoric.

Project Veritas, a controversial right-wing investigative group known for its covert operations against mainstream media and progressive groups, has suspended all operations indefinitely. The suspension follows multiple rounds of layoffs and allegations of severe internal mismanagement, including mistreatment of staff and misuse of donor funds.

Project Veritas, the conservative investigative organization, has suspended all operations amid severe financial struggles, mass layoffs, and allegations of mismanagement. A letter from HR detailed the reduction in force, with reports that affected staff received no severance pay, contributing to internal turmoil even as the move diminishes the organization’s far‐right media output.

James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, is under investigation in New York over allegations of mis-spending donor funds on personal luxuries. The turmoil has led to a mass staff firing and board resignations, and the organization’s history of propagating misleading claims about voter fraud adds to concerns about its role in spreading disinformation.

Project Veritas is under investigation after its founder, James O'Keefe, was fired over allegations of mistreating workers and misusing donor funds. The investigation, confirmed by the Westchester County DA’s office on August 19, 2023, centers on claims that O'Keefe spent excessive donor money on personal luxuries and created a problematic work environment, prompting remedial actions by the board.

A financial audit and board report in spring 2023 revealed that Project Veritas, under James O’Keefe’s leadership, diverted nonprofit funds for personal luxuries including chauffeured black car services, a chartered helicopter, and other inurement practices.

On February 21, 2023, Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe was forced out by the board amid allegations of financial malfeasance, including misuse of donor funds for personal luxuries, and concerns about his treatment of staff. The board’s decision reflects an internal corrective measure in response to unethical business practices.

On February 2, 2023, during what became known as the 'Groundhog Day Massacre', Project Veritas’s CEO, James O’Keefe, engaged in abusive management practices including public shaming and unilateral firings, resulting in a toxic work environment and massive staff turnover.

On January 25, 2023, Project Veritas released undercover footage of a Pfizer executive that appeared to show intentional mutation of Covid-19 for financial gain, a video that quickly went viral but was later removed for vaccine misinformation.

On April 13, 2022, Project Veritas attorneys filed a motion arguing that the Department of Justice’s seizures of private data from its journalists and their security detail—obtained via secret subpoenas to Apple and Google—violated the Privacy Protection Act, the First and Fourth Amendments, and common law reporter's privilege. The move challenges what the organization views as an overreach by the government into constitutionally protected journalistic practices.

Legal documents released by Project Veritas reveal that the DOJ, through Microsoft-provided evidence, conducted unsupervised surveillance of its journalists by obtaining privileged emails and contacts. In response, Project Veritas filed a motion to enforce judicial oversight and protect First Amendment rights, underscoring its commitment to press freedom amid alleged governmental overreach.
