What's Happening?
James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, is under investigation by the Westchester County district attorney's office. The investigation may be related to allegations of financial impropriety during his tenure at Project Veritas. O'Keefe left the organization earlier this year following accusations of misusing donor funds for personal luxuries.

The organization has faced significant internal challenges, including layoffs and financial instability.
