Feed The Children President Larry Jones was fired Friday from the charity he founded 30 years ago. He plans to sue to try to get his job back.

The charity’s board of directors voted to terminate Jones’ employment “effective immediately.” The directors did not give a reason. The charity paid Jones $230,323 a year, records show.

“There’s going to be thousands of children go hungry this Christmas because of what they did,” Jones, 69, told The Oklahoman.

The firing came after Jones admitted to the charity’s investigator and to police that he authorized the installation of hidden microphones in three executives’ offices last April. “I did nothing wrong there. … I knew what the law was… They used wiretapping as the excuse,” Jones said Friday.
Jones has been the face of the Oklahoma City-based Christian relief organization. It reports collecting more than $1 billion in donations a year.
