CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: U.S. Government Accountability Office Director Admits GAO Staff “Stole & Backed Up” Vaccine Data Allegedly Deleted by RFK Jr.’s HHS - Possible Violations of Federal Records, Theft, & CFAA Laws.

Steven Putansu, a 16-year veteran of the U.S. Government Accountability Office & current Assistant Director, revealed a covert effort inside GAO to preserve vaccine research data.

Putansu admitted on hidden camera GAO staff “stole & backed up” federal data to keep it outside RFK Jr. led HHS control - a potential violation of several federal statutes, including:

- Unauthorized Removal or Destruction of Public Records (18 U.S.C. § 2071)
- Theft or Conversion of Government Property (18 U.S.C. § 641)
- Computer Fraud & Abuse Act - CFAA (18 U.S.C. § 1030) for accessing or copying government data without authorization.

“We've stolen & backed those things up so that someday they can come back to government.”

“I'd watch out for the vaccine denying HHS who's going to ruin health care in this country even more than it already is.”

“It limits the amount of permanent damage… research he’s trying to delete is stored outside his control.”

GAO is committed to meeting the highest level of independence, nonpartisanship, & professional standards while conducting audits, evaluations, & investigations & we take seriously any suggestion otherwise.”

U.S. GAO confirmed Steven Putansu’s employment as an Assistant Director with the agency.

BREAKING: NIH Contractor Admits to Ripping Down & Trashing Federal Portraits of President Trump, VP Vance, RFK Jr., & Director Jay Bhattacharya Inside the Maryland Headquarters.

“Man, f*ck these guys… I just decided to rip them off the wall."

“I threw those motherf*ckers away.”

“Federal property is not to be f*cked with.”

Joseph Olmert, a contractor inside the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Research Animal Management Branch, was recorded confessing to destroying federally installed portraits of President Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., & NIH head director Jay Bhattacharya.

On hidden camera, Olmert described his defiance toward the administration & admitted to discarding the government owned displays - a potential violation of (18 U.S.C. § 1361) Destruction of Government Property - a crime that carries up to 10 years imprisonment depending on damage.

When reached for comment, NIH officials confirmed to @OKeefeMediaGroup that Joseph Olmert is an active contractor within the Research Animal Management Branch & provided the following statement:

“At this time, we cannot confirm any individual's involvement. The matter is being handled through internal channels, & we are not in a position to verify details beyond that. Regarding the material you shared, we have acknowledged receiving it. However, we have not received additional information from police that we can share at this time. The NIH police is looking into it.”

NIH replied to OMG letting us know their police are looking into the matter

O’Keefe Media Group CEO James O’Keefe explains how he EXPOSED an NIH contractor who was allegedly tearing down portraits of leading Trump administration officials, and argues that rogue actors hiding inside the administration could derail the President’s agenda.

“The President may have a hard time doing what’s right or what’s necessary if people within who literally work for him are tearing down images of him! It’s absurd!”

CONFRONTING Congressman Robert Garcia’s office after Oversight Dems claimed to release “never before seen” Epstein photos OMG released in May.

Robert Edmonson, Staff Director for the House Oversight Committee, resorted to ad hominem attacks & claims they redacted photos to “protect victims.”

Her remarks on vaccine mandates & Obama’s racial identity sparked backlash inside Disney and ESPN, leading to what she describes as an effort to silence her: suspension, lost assignments, & a forced public apology issued to national media. This is her story.

WATCH: NIH Contractor calls Actions a “Foolish Mistake” After Being Caught Admitting to Destroying Federal Portraits

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.
