One of them, Scott Foval, confessed on camera to orchestrating violence at Trump rallies, a strategy he referred to as “conflict engagement." The Wisconsin-based operative also brainstormed ideas for voter fraud with an undercover Project Veritas reporter. “We talk about a lot of things we don't talk about,” Foval said on the tape.<ref>"[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/19/two-democratic-operatives-lose-jobs-after-james-okeefe-sting/ Two Democratic operatives lose jobs after James O’Keefe sting]."</ref> Foval is a contractor for Democracy Partners.

The usual [[lamestream media]] cover-up began in defense of [[liberal]] NPR. NPR claims that they knew something was fishy, “we repeatedly refused to accept.” Now O'Keefe is set to release another tape showing not only was that statement false, but NPR offered to hide the funds from showing up in their donor records.<ref>[http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/03/10/project-veritas-npr-planned-to-accept-donation-from-muslim-brotherhood-front-group-and-hide-origins-from-government/ Project Veritas: NPR Planned to Accept Donation from Muslim Brotherhood Front Group and Hide Origins From Government, BigGovernment.com, March 10, 2011]</ref> O'Keefe did release a second video, which resulted in another NPR official being placed on leave.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/03/11/npr.recording/index.html?hpt=Sbin</ref>
