At least 175 House Republicans are demanding answers from Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about his department’s new Disinformation Governance Board as he struggles to defend the group’s creation and the choice of Nina Jankowicz as its first director.

Jankowicz, a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, will be the executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s new anti-disinformation effort. She has a history of either labeling claims as disinformation that were later found to have credibility or giving credence to assertions that were later discredited, including those related to Hunter Biden, Christopher Steele, Iranian election meddling, the Wuhan, China, lab leak hypothesis, and more.
