Project Veritas is an American far-right[28] activist group founded by James O’Keefe in 2010.[32] The group produces deceptively edited videos[15] of its undercover operations,[6] which use secret recordings[7] in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups.[41][42] Project Veritas also uses entrapment[14] to generate bad publicity for its targets,[3] and has propagated disinformation[2] and conspiracy theories[49] in its videos and operations.
Targets of Project Veritas include Planned Parenthood, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), NPR, CNN, and The Washington Post. In 2009, Project Veritas associates published misleading[3] videos that depicted ACORN employees providing advice on concealing illegal activity, causing ACORN to shut down after losing funding;[4] ACORN was cleared of wrongdoing by the Attorney General of California in 2010,[3] and the associates paid a total of $150,000 in settlements to an ACORN employee who sued for defamation.[3] NPR CEO Vivian Schiller resigned in 2013 after Project Veritas released a deceptively[3][4] edited video portraying another NPR executive making controversial comments about the Tea Party movement and NPR’s federal funding.[50] Project Veritas unsuccessfully attempted to mislead The Washington Post into publishing false information about the Roy Moore sexual misconduct allegations in 2017;[51][41] the Post won a Pulitzer Prize after uncovering the operation.[9][52]
As a non-governmental organization, Project Veritas is financed by conservative fund Donors Trust[3] (which provided over $6.6 million from 2011 to 2019)[41][53][54] and other supporters including the Donald J. Trump Foundation.[55] In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing Project Veritas’ use of spies recruited by Erik Prince, to infiltrate “Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda”. The Times piece notes O’Keefe’s and Prince’s close links to the Trump administration, and details contributions such as a $1 million transfer of funds from an undisclosed source to support their work. The findings were based in part on discovery documents in a case brought by the American Federation of Teachers, Michigan, which had been infiltrated by Project Veritas.[56]
Funding and organization
Much of the funding for Project Veritas comes from anonymous donations through Donors Trust, a conservative, American nonprofit donor-advised fund backed by the Koch brothers, which according to its promotional materials, says that it will “keep your charitable giving private, especially gifts funding sensitive or controversial issues”.[3][218][219] Donors Trust provided Project Veritas with gradually increasing cash infusions, including $25,000 in 2011, $922,500 in 2015,[53] $1.7 million in 2016,[41] and over $4 million in 2019.[54]
Other prominent donors include the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which donated $20,000 in 2015,[53] including a $10,000 transfer in May 2015,[55][220] which was made a month before the launch of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.[55] O’Keefe attended, as a guest of the Trump campaign, the final presidential debate, and was later available in the spin room following the Las Vegas event.[224]
The group is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.[225] The group’s affiliate is the Project Veritas Action Fund.[57]
The Daily Dot reported that they found a pattern in which Project Veritas’ supposed whistleblowers “almost all establish crowdfunding pages hyped by Project Veritas within days and hours of going public with their allegations.” The Daily Dot provided seven examples in 2019 or 2020: Richard Hopkins, Zach McElroy, Eric Cochran, Cary Poarch, Greg Copolla, Ryan Hartwig, and Omar Jamal, who each raised between $20,000 to over $115,000 on GoFundMe, although in some instances, the money was not disbursed.[226]

Federal Govt Whistleblower Goes Public with Secret Recordings: ‘Government Doesn’t Want to Show the [COVID] Vaccine is Full of Sht’; ‘Shove’ Adverse Effect Reporting ‘Under the Mat’*
💐Dr. Maria Gonzales, ER Doctor, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “All this is bullshit. Now, [a patient] probably [has] myocarditis due to the [COVID] vaccine. But now, they [government] are not going to blame the vaccine.”
🪴Dr. Gonzales: “They [government] are not reporting [adverse COVID vaccine side effects]…They want to shove it under the mat.”
🎋Deanna Paris, Registered Nurse, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “It’s a shame they [government] are not treating people [with COVID] like they’re supposed to, like they should. I think they want people to die.”
☘️Jodi O’Malley, Insider and Registered Nurse, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: The COVID vaccine is “not doing what it’s purpose was.”
🌳O’Malley: “I’ve seen dozens of people come in with adverse reactions.”
🌸O’Malley: “If we [gov] are not gathering [COVID vaccine] data & reporting it, then how are we going to say that this is safe and approved for use?”
🌹O’Malley: I’m not afraid of blowing the whistle “because my faith lies in God & not man…You know, like what kind of person would I be if I knew all of this — this is evil at the highest level. You have the FDA, u have the CDC, that are both supposed to be protecting us, but they are under the gov, & everything that we’ve done so far is unscientific”
*🌾O’Malley: “At the end of the day, it’s about your health, &u can never get that back — & about your freedom,& about living in a peaceful society, & I’m like, ‘no.’ No. This is the hill that I will die on”
