James O’Keefe has resigned from Project Veritas. We expect him to reemerge shortly doing what he’s always done, but for now…
Exclusive: @JamesOKeefeIII, my friend and former boss at @Project_Veritas, just read his resignation letter to his former team and board members at their Mamaroneck, N.Y. headquarters. James will make his own way—as he always has before. @OANN pic.twitter.com/knOqtFTw7e

Needle scratch!
Updated: Mike Rogers forwarded a text from James on his “departure” that I missed before publication. Here it is.
I’ve been removed from CEO and Board of Project Veritas. This video will provide clarity on what has occurred.
They are very heartfelt remarks in my office this morning to my staff:
I need to make clear that I have not resigned from the company that I founded. On February 10th, while I was on PTO mandated by the Project Veritas board of directors, the board had a meeting. The minutes of the meeting were shared with me and I was stripped of my position as CEO and Chairman of the board of Project Veritas. I came to the PV office today to remove my personal belongings and share truth with our staff. I do not know why the board took these actions, why they released untrue statements about my status while I was on mandated leave, nor why they chose this timing to to act. I will continue my work as a journalist.
