James O’Keefe sat down with Olmert who thought he was going to be meeting with his date, & asked about his hidden-camera comments claiming he tore down portraits of President Trump, VP Vance, RFK Jr., & NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, Joseph Olmert attempted to distance himself from the incident, calling his actions a “foolish mistake.”

During the interaction, Olmert provided a fake name, gave a false phone number, denied working for NIH, & even asked O’Keefe for a job & dating advice.

Our reporting independently confirmed with NIH that Olmert is, in fact, a contractor within the agency.

Following the release of our investigation, Jay Bhattacharya ordered a formal investigation, stating:

“The actions described are unacceptable for an NIH employee or contractor.”

Congressman Tim Burchett has also called for Olmert’s firing.
