The former head of a disinformation group created by the US Department of Homeland Security has sued Fox News for defamation, saying its attacks threatened her safety. Jankowicz was executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board, created to coordinate efforts to combat disinformation posing a threat to US security. The lawsuit also says Fox hosts continuously attacked Jankowicz, calling her a “wicked witch”, a “disinformation czaress” and a “lunatic”, among other things. Fox did not air an apology, though it did acknowledge “court rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false”. Fox has said the former producer’s claims are “riddled with false allegations”.
