The FBI searched the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe on Nov. 6, about a day after the agency had executed a search warrant at homes belonging to Veritas associates.
In a statement to The Epoch Times about whether O’Keefe’s home was searched, an FBI spokesperson confirmed that “a court-authorized law enforcement action” was carried out “in furtherance of an ongoing investigation.”
Representatives for Project Veritas didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. O’Keefe hasn’t made any public statements on whether his home was searched and instead posted a video of himself reading a chapter from George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”
O’Keefe neighbor Jimmy Maynes confirmed to local New York media that the Veritas founder’s home in Mamaroneck, New York, was searched by federal law enforcement agents, a process that lasted several hours.
“They asked for James,” he said. “I thought they were banging on my door. I opened the door.”
“Agents told me to close the door and I closed the door. That’s exactly what happened. It was still dark.”
Brent Mickol, another neighbor who lives across the hall, said the agents announced “something along the lines of ‘FBI Warrant. Open up,’” he told the New York Post.
