James O’Keefe, the man behind the recent NPR video-sting, released a second video on Thursday in which Betsy Liley, NPR's 'Senior Director of Institutional Giving', is overheard telling a fake donor - an undercover operative and a colleague of O’Keefe - that NPR, by accepting a proposed $5 million gift anonymously, would be able to shield the donor from a government audit of NPR's books.
NPR previously claimed that the aforementioned undercover operative[s] “repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept.”
Liley was placed on administrative leave on Tuesday, after the first video was released.
