O'Keefe joined Zucker on an ongoing conference call where he announced his intention to release tapes of previous phone calls. Zucker, sounding unnerved, abruptly told the conference call that there will be a change in procedures and the call will continue later.
In his email, O'Keefe said that the recording that they will "be releasing will give you some insight as to why Zucker has such a tough time answering questions about journalistic integrity."

Project Veritas says the first dump of recordings will come at 7pm Eastern Standard Time.
