As soon as it was posted on Twitter and Telegram, it disappeared, but reports are coming in from Project Veritas staff that they have all been fired. A source told The Post Millennial that CFO tonight and filling in for George Skakel tonight.
A Project Veritas post read “SOS Hannah Giles has just fired us all.” And then he was gone. There are only 18 people left on the staff.
Giles, who became famous for starring in the ACORN video with the founder and former CEO James O’Keefetook over from O’Keefe after he was summarily dismissed kicked out by the board of directors. He took over as CEO only to destroy the company completely.
“She got all hands on deck in April with her fat mate Ben Wetmore and all they did for 3 days was talk crap about James and bring up all the terrible things he did to them 10-12 years ago years. He knew all about it then. The agenda was revenge,” a source said.
On-air talent Christian Hartsock and James Lalino were fired after Giles told staff he was being restructured. Kalen Eriksson, Jaime Phillips, Alyssa Dehen were also dismissed. The terminations were done via a Zoom call with HR, with some of them in the New York office. Giles did not make an appearance.
“He’s a lying sack of shit,” a source told The Post Millennial. “No one respected her anyway.”
Five people were fired Monday, including executive news producer Pam Browne. It was worn by O’Keefe last year. Some of those who were fired were released allegedly in retaliation for their undercover work. Those who remain are mainly administrators and about twenty people were laid off on Thursday.
The production team is destroyed and only a few undercover journalists are left to help with the fundraising. After the bloodbath, team talks saw Giles grilled mercilessly.
“Since James stepped down,” a source told Post Millennial, “the donations dried up … the donations never picked up. The board was desperate to get Hannah on board because they thought she’d be cute, but the problem is she’s a charlatan and a fraud. Everything she’s done has been a failure and she lied to everyone saying she had all these donors she could bring in.”
“He came in April,” said a source, “and as far as I know he never contributed a penny.”
A letter from Project Veritas’ counsel was sent to staff stating:
“On August 9, 2023 I was informed that the PV Board of Directors voted on August 8, 2023 to stop compensating Spencer Meads and Eric Cochran. I had a meeting with George Skakel, Hannah Giles and John Sullivan later that afternoon to express I was told that the main reason for the decision was to save money, which seemed untrue given the outstanding balances of Spencer’s attorney and Eric’s attorney, when combined, they add up to approximately $45,000.00, according to Tom O’Hara. To compromise the values and ethics of the employees of this organization is simply wrong. It sets a dangerous precedent that at any given time Project Veritas may deny legal protection for current journalists operating legally in the field After expressing my concerns, I was told that I should postpone contacting their lawyers while the board reconsidered its decision.
“This afternoon at 2:38 p.m. I got a text from Hannah saying, ‘Hey, go ahead and tell Eddie about the above, and notify Spencer and Eric’s attorney about the decision that the together took the other night. It is currently as it is. .’
“This email is a response to the directive I was given. Not only is it unethical to fail to protect journalists who have gone out into the field and risked their livelihoods to improve our country, I believe that failing to do- it will open Project Veritas to legal liability Ten days ago, on July 31, 2023, we published the Ashley Biden Diary account (against the wishes of Eric Cochran and others) with the primary goal of raising money for the legal defenses of our reporters.Hannah states that “we continue to provide representation to all of them.” By all of them she means Spencer Meads, Eric Cochran and James O’Keefe.
“There are serious issues with honesty in telling the public that we are providing representation for Spencer and Eric and then a few days later we are going to vote to drop that representation. There may also be fraud when Project Veritas applied for funds based in this statement which is now no longer true. . In this regard, with all due respect to all involved, I must refuse to participate in this decision or in its execution.”
