Former DHS disinformation expert sues Fox News for defamation

Nina Jankowicz, the former executive director of the Department of Homeland Security's disinformation board, is suing Fox News for defamation. Jankowicz alleges that Fox News defamed her by telling viewers that the board was out to censor the American public, causing her to be "doxed, threatened, harassed relentlessly, and even cyberstalked." The lawsuit names current and former Fox personalities including Jesse Waters, Judge Jeanine Pirro, and Tucker Carlson, among others. The suit comes three weeks after Fox settled a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting System over accusations that the network knowingly pushed false conspiracy theories that the voting machine company rigged the 2020 presidential election in Joe Biden's favor.
