In a stunning exposé, James O’Keefe just got his sweet revenge on a former Project Veritas board member who played a role in ousting him from his own organization back in 2023.
That’s right.
Someone who worked for Project Veritas — one of the biggest undercover operations in the nation — was foolish enough to fall for a honey trap set by O’Keefe.
Oh, the irony!
His name is Matthew Tyrmand, and, boy, is he cooked!
O’Keefe’s undercover journalist got him to admit to some pretty explosive stuff.
For one thing, Tyrmand opened up about how he is an FBI informant against conservative organizations.
He also talked about how he would kill O’Keefe, if given a chance, and discussed some shady dealings with pharmaceutical companies.
After getting him to admit — on secret camera — to all of these things, O’Keefe personally confronted Tyrmand in Miami.
Watch all the footage here for yourself:

CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: Former Project Veritas Board Member @MatthewTyrmand Admits To Being An FBI/SDNY Informant Against Conservative Organizations, James O’Keefe, Threatens to Murder O’Keefe, And Puts Rifle Bullets In O’Keefe’s Heart On The Front Of His Book “Breakthrough”. Tyrmand Shared He Can Lose His Brokerage License And Face Criminal Civil Torts For Violating His NDA & Leaking Information About The Company “Petrogen”
“I would kill him [O’Keefe]. Because he is one of the most evil people I’ve ever known.”
“I have a thousand sources in the DOJ and CIA I talk to all the time.”
ADVERTISEMENT“I’ve already fed the Southern District tons of sh*t on him [O’Keefe].”
The undercover journalist met with Matthew Tyrmand, a Former Project Veritas Board Member to uncover the truth behind my removal from Project Veritas….
On February 6, 2023, I was indefinitely suspended by Project Veritas, the organization I founded out of my father’s garage while on probation at age 25 and built into a 75-person, $25 million investigative newsroom exposing corruption from 2009 to 2023. It is a story so bizarre that, to this day, people still don’t understand why it happened. But today we finally got some answers.
Tyrmand has long denied working against me but finally admitted on hidden camera he served as an SDNY informant providing information about me and also admitted to acting as an FBI informant.
My team and I received violent threats from Tyrmand. I saw with my own eyes bullet holes in my book through my heart, and he threatened that he wanted to kill me.
Tyrmand advises and solicits investments for several companies, including some in pharmaceuticals, and did so while on the Project Veritas board, including Cathaid Inc., Leicester, MTTC1 Venture, Matt Tyrmand LLC, and ClaimFound. His BrokerCheck report shows he is employed by Bradley Woods & Co. Ltd. in New York.
At some point, denial collapses when you can see their lips moving as they admit to it.
Along with all the undercover video footage, O’Keefe also shared some texts that Tyrmand send to his undercover journalist:

Here’s a closer look at those texts:
Since confronting Tyrmand, O’Keefe has filed a restraining order against the guy:
We went to Miami Beach to confront Tyrmand in person about his threats. We have officially filed a restraining order in Palm Beach County against Matthew Tyrmand for our protection. Here is the Restraining Order: pic.twitter.com/hIGGlZGPzw

Wow.
Along with taking down this big jerk, O’Keefe really just blew the lid off of exactly how the deep state targets conservatives.
This is big stuff.
Tyrmand can’t be the only inside informant spilling stuff to the FBI…
This whole thing needs to be investigated.
Tyrmand spilling about his DOJ and CIA sources? This is bigger than just PV. It’s a window into how the deep state targets conservatives.

On another note, I can’t be the only one thinking how hilariously ironic it is that a former Project Veritas board member got caught admitting to all this stuff on hidden camera:
Hold on… 😅😆😂🤣😆😂😅🤣
Wait *catches breath*
Hold on… 😅😆😂🤣😆😂😅🤣This guy was a BOARD MEMBER for PV – and got caught saying this stuff to an undercover camera?
That’s the funniest thing I have read all day!!!!!!!!!!!!
