SPEAKER

James O’Keefe

Activist, President of Project Veritas, Blogger, Journalist and Author

James O'Keefe is an award-winning journalist and writer.  He is the founder and President of Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action, non-profit organizations dedicated to investigating corruption, dishonesty, waste and fraud in both public and private institutions.

James O’Keefe’s investigations have led directly to the passage of new legislation, federal and state investigations, congressional inquiries, the de-funding of taxpayer-funded groups, resignations, firings, re-trainings and disciplinary action.

O’Keefe’s investigations have exposed voter fraud, corruption at ACORN, bias at NPR, racial discrimination at Planned Parenthood, corruption at Enroll America and Battleground Texas, incompetence in Medicaid, hypocritical Hollywood environmentalists, Al Sharpton, the heartbreaking failures of the VA, and lawbreaking in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.  He famously crossed the border dressed as Osama bin Laden and ISIS terrorists.

During the 2014 elections, Project Veritas Action investigations played a pivotal role in four key Senate victories.  In 2016, O’Keefe’s videos were credited with making a significant impact in the presidential election.

In 2013, O’Keefe authored New York Times bestseller, Breakthrough: Our Guerrilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy. He is the recipient of the Robert Novak Award for Journalistic Excellence (2011), has been named “Fox News Power Player of the Week” twice, and was on the Forbes “30 Under 30” for media moguls.
