Project Veritas CEO quits, citing 'strong evidence of past illegality and past financial improprieties'

Hannah Giles, the chief executive of Project Veritas, said Monday she has stepped down from her role at the right-wing group “effective immediately,” after discovering evidence that the organization has engaged in “past illegalities.”

“Though I had high hopes when I joined the organizations, I stepped into an unsalvageable mess — one wrought with strong evidence of past illegality and past financial improprieties,” Giles wrote in a post on X. “Once such evidence was discovered, I brought the information to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.”

The right-wing group, which was created by James O’Keefe in 2010, is known for its selectively edited undercover sting videos that target journalists and progressive groups, including CNN and The New York Times. The edited videos published by Project Veritas often champion disinformation and conspiracy theories.

She doesn't get the job if she wasn't.
No sympathy or credit for finding out she's over her head in the cesspool she willingly dove in to.

...when she put herself into a hooker get-up and partnered with him to create a smear campaign against ACORN. That was before they formed Veritas.

Why would she do anything different now? It's ass-covering.
