Disinformation Board chief faces Judiciary Committee investigation, wants to sue Fox News for alleged lies

Nina Jankowicz, the head of the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, which was under the Department of Homeland Security, is crowdfunding a lawsuit against Fox News for what she says were “malicious, reckless lies” about her.

The Biden administration claimed the board was created to fight false narratives around human trafficking along the border and domestic terrorism. However, critics saw it as a Ministry of Truth that the government could use to censor speech it doesn’t like.

“After my position was announced, baseless claims that the board was an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ and I was President Biden’s chief censor spread,” Jankowicz said in a five-minute video appealing for funds.
