James O'Keefe.Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Project Veritas is suing its founder and former leader, James O'Keefe. O'Keefe set up a competitor right-wing political sting operation earlier this year amid allegations of financial misconduct. Project Veritas alleges that he violated his employment contract and wooed donors from a confidential list. The right-wing activist group Project Veritas filed a lawsuit Wednesday against its founder, James O'Keefe, alleging he violated his employment agreement by establishing a competing organization and wooing away donors while still on Project Veritas' payroll."Being known as the founder of an organization does not entitle that person to run amok and put his own interests ahead of that organization," the lawsuit says.
