Project Veritas at risk of losing fundraising license in New York, AG warns
Project Veritas, a conservative activist organization that specializes in undercover operations to target left-leaning political organizations, academic figures and the media may be in jeopardy of losing its ability to raise money in New York, state officials announced Thursday.
The 501(c)(3) organization has two weeks to explain why it did not disclose founder James O’Keefe’s 2010 criminal conviction in Louisiana in addition to other omissions on paperwork submitted to the state, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) said in a letter to the group on Wednesday, according to The Washington Post.
O'Keefe was sentenced to three years of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty in 2010 to misdemeanor charges surrounding his role gaining entry to then-Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) office in Baton Rogue.
If no explanation can be provided, Schneiderman's letter warned that O'Keefe's organization could lose the ability to raise money in New York, where the Project Veritas offices are located, the Post reported.
It is not known how much money Project Veritas raises in New York.
