James O’Keefe, former CEO of Project Veritas, departed on Monday from the undercover journalism organization he founded.
One America News Network’s (OANN) Neil McCabe, a Project Veritas alumnus, reported that O’Keefe resigned from the undercover journalism outlet:
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

R.C. Maxwell, a spokesperson for Project Veritas, later wrote in a tweet challenging the accuracy of McCabe’s report that O’Keefe had been “removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board”:
This is not accurate.
James was removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board.

James, who is late to everything because of his packed schedule, showed up to my wedding EARLY.

O’Keefe was placed on a paid leave of absence earlier in February during an investigation by the organization’s board into his management decisions.
