Project Veritas chief resigns over alleged ‘evidence of past illegality’

Hannah Giles quits rightwing muckraker and says non-profit has become ‘an unsalvageable mess’

The chief executive of the rightwing muckraker Project Veritas resigned on Monday, saying the non-profit had become “an unsalvageable mess” and alleging “past illegality” and “past financial improprieties” at the group founded by the political provocateur James O’Keefe.

“I am stepping down from all roles with Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action – effective immediately,” Hannah Giles said.
