Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe on Wednesday announced his latest project following his departure from the group.

In a video posted to Twitter, O'Keefe announced the creation of the O'Keefe Media Group, which will include a handful of dedicated journalists with whom he has long collaborated.

"I spent 14 years creating the most effective, non-profit newsroom this country has ever seen," he said. "And in paving the way to establish citizen journalism, I have been defamed, arrested, raided, and ultimately removed from the organization I spent so much time developing the credibility of."

"We are going to build an army of investigators and exposers. They have awakened a sleeping giant. I'm back," he declared.

O'Keefe confirmed his departure from Veritas in late February amid a dispute with the group's board of directors. He had attempted to remove two members of the board unilaterally, but was overruled. The board then issued a broader memo with complaints about working conditions at the investigative outlet.
