On February 10, Project Veritas’ Board of Directors forced James O’Keefe out of the organization he founded in 2010. A statement released by the Board alleged financial misappropriation and mistreatment of employees — but his donors and followers aren’t buying it.

Board minutes pasted in a video of James O’Keefe’s final staff meeting suggest financial misconduct, indicating that he was reimbursed for a $12,600 downpayment on his wedding[i] O’Keefe is unmarried), and this memo presented to the Board on February 6 alleges that he ate a pregnant woman’s sandwich.

While it is uncertain if the sandwich story is true, other allegations, such as the claim that a donor was denied a picture and “humiliated to the point of tears,” are false. We know this because the donor came forward with a video of her own here criticizing the memo’s author for misrepresenting their interaction. Andy Ngo of Post Millennial obtained a letter her husband wrote to Project Veritas disputing the grievances against James O’Keefe.

The husband of Dianna Remmers, a donor to Project Veritas, also sent an email to them disputing some of the grievances against @JamesOKeefeIII that resulted in him being placed on leave by the board. pic.twitter.com/9Sha9vMj1z
