Did you leak a letter to the Washington Post about me? You're the chief of staff to the person who wrote it, right? I don't know how they got it before you. You need to ask Yvonne. I haven't received the letter yet. Can you send it to me? It's on its way, but you’re hard to find. How did the Washington Post know to request it? I have no idea how they became aware. I think you're lying. Someone from your office must have leaked it. There are many ways they could have known. Give me one example. Others in government could have known. So someone in your office knew about the letter. That’s faulty logic. You’re busy writing letters to journalists. I’m not the author. It’s a fight of good versus evil in this country.

Jamie claims to be a spy hunter, but I challenge that. You worked as an FBI special agent and now advise the Pentagon. Why lie about working with retired generals? You say you’re not fundraising, yet you discuss political activities. As a taxpayer, I have the right to know what you do. You accuse me of being a fraud, but I have you on tape discussing sensitive matters. You assert that everything you said is public, but why disclose it to strangers? You seem angry and defensive, which raises questions about your integrity. This interaction highlights concerns about transparency within government agencies. I’m here to report on these issues, exercising my First Amendment rights.

Patricia, I need your commitment to stop starting headlines with rumors. It scares my veterans and employees. If you have a source, run it by our PR people first. Some reporters aren't even calling to check information before reporting it. We answered your question about the DOGE liaison, but it was still reported as a rumor. Headlines like "Elon Musk aide is now working at VA accessing computer systems" are alarming and untrue. We don't have DOGE employees, we have VA employees as liaisons. I want to work with you, but I won't tolerate reporters scaring my employees and veterans. I'm the most transparent VA secretary and I'm willing to work with you to get the facts right.

Hi, I'm James O'Keefe, an investigative reporter. I want to discuss your views on the deep state. Can you elaborate? I'm not interested in this conversation. But you've already spoken on it, and I have it recorded. What is your role at the White House? I advise on research and development policy. Are we done here? Have a nice night. You too. Have a good evening, Byron. There he goes, shuffling along.

Is it standard for your department to meet with dark money groups secretly? I can't speak to actions taken by the former deputy secretary, who is no longer with us. But you are the secretary of the interior, correct? Yes, I am. Do the people here work for you? They work with me. So you're not in charge? I provide vision and direction. Do you take responsibility for the department? Yes, I do. Then why are your leaders meeting with dark money groups off the books? This is the first I've heard of this. I can't comment on my deputy's actions. What did they gain from canceling leases at their request? I don't know who that individual is. You seem unaware of your department's issues. We have a corruption problem in your department.

I'm here investigating the administrative state. I confronted a former FBI special agent and current advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. I questioned him about potential ethical conflicts, including fundraising activities and his work with retired generals. He became angry, called me names, and accused me of fraud and lying. I'm operating within my First Amendment rights as a journalist, but he claimed I needed his permission to record him, which isn't true in Washington D.C. He was visibly upset, and at one point even cried. I believe he lied about his activities and shared sensitive information. It's concerning to see such political behavior from government officials.

James O'Keefe is visiting, and I'm welcoming him into my house. It's not his first time here. I've got reporters everywhere I go. Last time one of them was wired. I was wondering if this reporter is off the record, but they are not. It's coming out later, but I was worried about saying anything that might cause issues. I mean, the New Yorker isn't exactly friendly territory. James just mentioned someone O'Keefe didn't identify as a reporter.

Speaker 0: The officer tells him to get a life, but the journalist insists that investigative reports are important for the country. Speaker 0 questions the journalist's credentials, but the journalist continues to ask questions. The journalist offers to provide all the material via email.

Byron Thedford? That's me. Oh, we received a report that you were pushing DEI in defiance of the state law and seeking loopholes to get around the law. Is that true? It's not. No, sir. You've never talked about pushing loopholes to get around the law? I haven't. No. What about this video?

I'm in Washington DC outside an oyster restaurant to confront Robert Silvers, the undersecretary in the Biden administration, who was caught on hidden camera discussing Biden's cognitive decline. I'm dressed in a tuxedo after attending a gala. I approach Silvers, introduce myself as James O'Keefe, the investigative reporter, and show him the video where he talks about Biden's mental state. I ask why he isn't being honest with the American people about his comments. As the confrontation escalates, we are asked to leave the premises. I attempt to continue the conversation, but security intervenes.

Can't come in. Here’s the ticket. Why not? That’s what I was told. This is day one of the Tribeca Film Festival. I’m passing out flyers about Acorn, stating the investigation is real. I exposed facts about Acorn breaking the law, and they’re making a movie about it. Some people think I’m despicable. Did you know the New York Times confirmed the transcripts match the audio? You’re hurting America. I’m James O’Keefe, and I’m in the Acorn movie. You’re a convicted felon. Actually, I’ve never been convicted of that felony. You’re a racist. No, I’m not. People are angry at the truth. We’ll be back tomorrow to expose it.

James O’Keefe confronts Garcia’s office over Epstein photos. O’Keefe says, “You guys said that you you had Epstein photos that you you broke, and we actually broke it already. You redacted some of the stuff on the chalkboard. We we broke the story in May.” Garcia staff counters, “We stand by our story. We put out information that is not included in your photo, so we did include photos that were not. But thank you so much for coming.” O’Keefe asks why the words on the chalkboard were redacted; staff replies they “go above and beyond to make sure that we protect any victims or potential victims.” O’Keefe notes they “broke the exact same photo.” The staff asserts they have many photos O’Keefe did not, and they “included photos that did not have” what O’Keefe released. O’Keefe presses for credit; staff says, “Absolutely not,” and claims, “we put out photos that were never before seen.” The source allegedly is the US Virgin Islands, “with response to a request from Congress.” O’Keefe says he has his own sources and asks for attribution. The staff accuses O’Keefe of “selectively editing videos” and of a broader reputation for filming people without their permission, stating, “That’s your reputation, and that’s why people don’t trust you.” O’Keefe challenges with, “Can you give me an example of how I’ve edited a video selectively?” The staff responds that Project Veritas’ reputation preceded him and declines to provide an example, saying they don’t want to speak to his audience and that he has a “reputation for filming people without consent selectively editing.” The exchange grows heated; O’Keefe asserts he is here as a member of Congress in Garcia’s office and asks for fair treatment. The staff reiterates, “Photos that you haven't put out. We said we were putting out photos that are never before seen. We did that. We did not lie at all.” O’Keefe highlights that he and Garcia’s office have “kicked out here” and describes the interaction as elitist and condescending. He references a quote idea about perception versus reality, then notes they “broke” an image where Democrats in House Oversight claim they broke it, and mentions that one word redacted was “dank or dark brain,” questioning which victim that protects. He promises to seek a retraction and signs off: “This is James O’Keeffe. You know me for exposing the truth and holding the corrupt elite responsible and accountable.” The interaction ends with the two sides firm in their positions, and O’Keefe walks away after being asked to leave, with Garcia’s staff maintaining their reporting and accuracy, while O’Keefe frames the encounter as a confrontation over credibility and transparency.

Is this seat taken? Actually, that person works for me. You work for BlackRock, right? Yes, but I don’t consent to being recorded. This is New York; it’s a one-party consent state. I’m not comfortable with that. You mentioned that BlackRock buys politicians. I didn’t say that. But you implied that BlackRock controls the president’s wallet. No, I’m just a low-level employee. But you did say it on video. I was just trying to impress someone. We’ll be looking into others at BlackRock too. Please don’t touch me. I’m not touching you. Why is war exciting? I’m going to the police station. What will you tell them? To make you stop following me. He’s inside the police station now, talking about our conversation regarding Ukraine and recruiting at BlackRock. He claims he’s just a recruiter and denies his previous statements.

I've uncovered thousands of contributions and spoken with individuals in Maryland who deny making the donations attributed to them. Act Blue is listed as the pass-through for this money on your website. I am asking, do you work for Act Blue? Why the secrecy about your activities? Are you affiliated with the ACLU? Upon showing my OMG press badge, I was immediately asked to leave and threatened with arrest for trespassing. I have the right to be here.

Pick it out, read it, and answer. Public place, you did it. Is this the best or the worst? The best. Probably the Obama thing. What is your wife talking about? We heard a lot in there. Who should get back in? We're not gonna discuss that. Secret Service, come here. Hi, look at y'all. We're not talking about it. That's an awesome answer. Not the White House. We were not at the White House. He was not elected yet. Anyway, moving on. I'm in trouble now. No, you're good.

Hey, I'm Adam Gillette with Accuracy and Media. I heard you were coaching a parent on how to break laws regarding biological boys and girls in sports. Is that true? No response. Is there someone else we should talk to? You can check with security downstairs. We're fine waiting here to possibly speak with her further. No? Okay, great.

Speaker 0 pressed: 'Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files?' Speaker 1 responded: 'I have never spoken to president Trump about the Epstein files.' Speaker 1: 'The attorney general and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files and the reviews conducted by our team.' Speaker 1: 'And we have released where president Trump's name is the files.' Speaker 1: 'During many conversations that the attorney general and I have had on the matter of Epstein, we have reviewed' Speaker 0: 'Question is simple.' Speaker 0: 'Who' Speaker 0: 'Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files? Yes or no?' Speaker 1: 'Why don't you try spelling it out' Speaker 0: 'Yes or no? Use' Speaker 0: 'the alphabet.' Speaker 0: 'Yes or no?' Speaker 1: 'No. A b c.' Speaker 0: 'Question has been asked and answered.' Speaker 0: 'You've not answered it, and we will take your evasiveness as a consciousness of guilt.'

Speaker 0: It's been a few days since you issued that resignation. You’ve been called weak by the president of the United States. You’ve been called a traitor by Lindsey Graham. You’ve been called an anti-Semite by Mitch McConnell, among others. Now there are reports that you’re under a leak investigation potentially accusing you of a felony that could put you in jail even though you now are raising your two boys. You’ve remarried, but you’re their sole biological parent still here. I ask you now whether this was worth it. Speaker 1: I think it most certainly was, Megan. I mean, the attacks against me are to be expected. The ad hominems from people like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham at this point are fairly laughable. They don’t wanna discuss the issues. I wanna discuss the issues. As for the leak allegations, I’m not concerned because I know I did nothing wrong. Of course, I am concerned because we’ve all seen the FBI and the full way of the government come down on individuals who speak out. So that has me a little bit concerned, but I know the truth and the facts are on my side. So I think the important issues to address are what’s at hand, why we’re at war, and how we get out of the state that we’re in right now. Speaker 0: Mhmm. Your boys have already lost one parent. I mean, the thought of this government for which you’ve been working and the government for which you’ve sacrificed so much, actually trying to put you in jail over an alleged leak after the number of leaks we’ve seen go unpunished over the past ten years is truly outrageous, Joe. I mean, does it anger you? How does it make you feel? Speaker 1: You, you know, it it does anger me, but it it’s all just to be expected. I I knew this was going to happen. I I know their playbook. I think we’re all very familiar with their playbook. So, actually, the fact that they’re leaking these allegations so so they have to leak the allegations of an FBI investigation. If there truly was an FBI investigation, and who knows, maybe there will be, there would be a process and procedure for that. They would actually formally come to me. And if they were still collecting information, they most certainly wouldn’t leak it. So the fact that the FBI, DOJ, or really probably just partisans are leaking this this so-called investigation against me at a time when I’m going on and publicly speaking out against the course the administration is on, to me, that tells me everything that I need to know. I feel very confident in what I’m doing right now. I think I have a mission, and I think it is to do everything I can to stop this war. So to me, I kinda view everything else as a sideshow, and I just wanna stay focused on the mission.

I'm declining to be named in your story. I haven't given any quotes. My name is James O'Keefe. We have you on hidden camera talking about Elon Musk, Doge, and unlawful activities at Treasury. I encourage you to speak on the record. We have you on video saying government colleagues don't do much, and Doge targets us because it's easy. I'm a reporter. People deserve to know what you've said. Why did you share this with a stranger but not me? You specialize in foreign policy at the Treasury. What are you afraid of? It'll look bad when you won't speak to me, but you told a stranger everything. This is a major public policy issue. I'm running this story with or without you. I think the people need to know what's happening inside the government, including risks to national security.

What do you want? The Lord caught up with me. How did this happen? I’m facing charges for election subversion, retaining classified information, and payments to an adult film star. I don’t know what to do. Just say it wasn’t you. The feds found my top secret documents on the bathroom floor, and now I’m indicted for election interference. I tried to hide them from what they were about to see. How can I get away with this when they don’t take cash payments?

Is this seat taken? Actually, that person works for me. Live from the Bronx, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG. You work for BlackRock, right? Yes, but I don’t consent to being recorded. You don’t have to; it’s a one-party consent state. I’m not interested in talking if you’re recording. You mentioned that BlackRock buys politicians. I didn’t say that. I’m just a low-level employee. But you did say it on video. No, I didn’t. You said it’s not about who the president is, but who controls the wallet. I’m nobody. I was just trying to impress someone. We’ll expose more people at BlackRock. I’m going to the police station to ask them to stop you from following me. James O'Keefe here, outside the police station, where the BlackRock executive is discussing my presence and denying his previous statements about Ukraine and buying politicians.

Senator Booker, do you remember me? Did Lauren Marshawn write your tweets since you're a client of Effective Campaigns? Can you answer that, Samuel Booker?

Did you leak a letter to the Washington Post about me? You're the chief of staff to the person who wrote it, right? I don't know how they got it before you. You should ask Yvonne. But you're part of the government working with the media to target journalists. I haven’t received the letter yet. Can you send it to me? It’s on its way, but you’re hard to find. How did the Washington Post know to request it? I have no idea how they became aware. I think you're lying. Someone from your office must have leaked it. There are other ways they could have known. Like who? Many people in government could have been aware. So someone in your office knew about the letter? Sure. Then how did the Washington Post find out? That’s faulty logic. You've been busy writing letters threatening journalists. I’m not the author. It’s a fight of good versus evil in this country.

I'm a journalist investigating the administrative state. I confronted a former FBI special agent, now an advisor to the joint chiefs at the Pentagon, about his political activities and fundraising efforts with retired generals. He became angry, called me names, and accused me of fraud and being a liar. He even claimed I needed his permission to record him, despite being in a one-party consent state. He denied saying things that I have on tape, including discussing plans after Trump wins. I questioned the ethics of his political involvement as a Pentagon advisor, and I asked him whether he thought it was appropriate to share sensitive information with strangers, even joking about whether I was a Russian spy.
