Giles was named the group’s chief government 4 months after its messy breakup with founder James O’Keefe in February. In an announcement posted to X, she claimed she’d taken over a company “wrought with robust proof of previous illegality and previous monetary improprieties.” Suggesting she’d had no prior information of the infamously embattled nonprofit’s alleged improprieties, Giles continued on to say that after she’d “found” the proof, “I introduced the data to the suitable regulation enforcement companies.” Challenge Veritas and O’Keefe are finest recognized for utilizing hidden cameras to embarrass journalists and political opponents. In 2009, O’Keefe and Giles, then a journalism scholar, teamed as much as surreptitiously document members of the nationwide neighborhood organizing group ACORN, leading to its eventual shutdown. This September, Mediaite reported that Challenge Veritas had suspended all operations and fired most of its staffers.
