The Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board is being put on hold weeks after its establishment was announced to the public, and board director Nina Jankowicz will resign, sources told The Associated Press. According to the Washington Post, DHS made the decision on Monday, and that the following morning the board’s leader, Nina Jankowicz, had a resignation letter drafted. The White House sharply criticized the board's opponents while insisting that there was nothing wrong with the board's goals. "Neither Nina Jankowicz nor the board have anything to do with censorship or with removing content from anywhere. The White House defended the DHS board earlier this month, saying that it would operate in a "nonpartisan," "apolitical" manner.
