In his first interview since the FBI raided his home, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe said he was “in a state of shock” as federal agents searched his New York residence for over two hours Friday.

O’Keefe appeared with his attorney on Fox’s “Hannity” Monday night. The two doubled down on the assertion that Project Veritas did nothing illegal in obtaining a diary allegedly belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley.

When pressed by Sean Hannity about whether Project Veritas, or O’Keefe, had any idea where the diary came from, O’Keefe reiterated that “The source gave us the information and we didn’t know if it was stolen, or not. We don’t know that.”

Following the alleged raids Friday, O’Keefe explained in a response posted to the Project Veritas website that his group was approached by “tipsters” they had never met before roughly a year ago. The “tipsters” allegedly indicated to Project Veritas that the diary had been abandoned in a room where Biden’s daughter had previously been staying, according to O’Keefe.

O’Keefe told Hannity that since he couldn’t authenticate the source material, Project Veritas ultimately chose not to run the story and instead handed over the material to law enforcement. “What more could I have done but not run the story and hand it over to law enforcement?” O’Keefe told Hannity. “I don’t know what more we could’ve done.”

The undercover tactics typically used by Project Veritas have been considered controversial, but O’Keefe and his attorney argued Monday night that Supreme Court precedent is on their side.

During the 1970s the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Pentagon Papers case that The New York Times had the right to publish stolen documents. When asked by Hannity about the similarities between what is occurring with Project Veritas and the Pentagon Papers case, O’Keefe’s counsel responded that “this is entirely similar.”

An FBI spokesperson confirmed to The New York Times that law enforcement activities did occur at O’Keefe’s New York City apartment, which according to O’Keefe was raided along with the homes of other Project Veritas journalists Nov. 4. The National Desk reached out to the FBI for further information on the case but did not hear back prior to publication.
