A group within the Department of Homeland Security that was set up to focus on combating disinformation has been put on pause, DHS said Wednesday, and its director Nina Jankowicz is stepping down.
The decision, first reported by the Washington Post, comes in the midst of a coordinated, right-wing smear campaign against Jankowicz. The group, called the Disinformation Governance Board, launched three weeks ago and has not met.
