A defamation suit against Fox News by a government official who served on a short-lived U.S. government media disinformation board was dismissed by a federal judge on Monday. The lawsuit was filed by Nina Jankowicz, who alleged that Fox News had defamed her on multiple occasions, resulting in online attacks and threats of violence following her role as a director on the Disinformation Governance Board.
The Disinformation Governance Board was launched by the Department of Homeland Security to combat disinformation from Russia and misleading information targeting migrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border. However, just weeks after its establishment in May 2022, the board's work was paused, and Jankowicz resigned. The board was later dissolved in August of the same year.
