Today, I grilled DGB's co-chair, Jennifer Daskal, on her assault on our freedom of speech.
She lied. Under oath. Repeatedly.

🚨Biden's Disinformation Governance Board was one of the darkest inventions of the Biden censorship regime.
Today, I grilled DGB's co-chair, Jennifer Daskal, on her assault on our freedom of speech.
She lied. Under oath. Repeatedly.
We have receipts. 🧵
She lied under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee, repeatedly.
My first question was simple: Did you co-chair the Disinformation Governance Board?
Her Answer: "No"ÂSecretary Alejandro Mayorkas himself testified to Congress that she was the co-chair.ÂNot only that, but Daskal herself authored a memo creating the Disinformation Governance Board with her co-chair Robert Silvers.She even called herself the co-chair in FOIA'd emails with colleagues.
So why did she blatantly lie under oath? Because she panicked — she wasn't expecting to be confronted on her wrongdoings today.Also, do you remember Nina Jankowicz? She was the self-described "Mary Poppins of disinformation" and the Executive Director of the Disinformation Governance Board.
Daskal claims to have not have been the "hiring authority" of Jankowicz but was "aware" she would be hired.ÂUnder the charter Daskal wrote, she, as co-chair, was one of the two people with a substantive role to hire the Executive Director.
Another lie?Jankowicz even testified to the House Judiciary Committee that she had a "substantive interview" with Daskal and that she worked closely with her.I asked her if it was appropriate for the government to work with social media companies to censor differing points of view.
Daskal had the gall to say the government shouldn't censor speech. She was co-chair of the Disinformation Governance Board!
Is this the end of the story? No.
We are going to keep fighting to get to the bottom of the Censorship Industrial Complex. If anything. I'm just getting started.
In 2022, as AG of Missouri, I sent a letter to Sec. Mayorkas promising to fight the Disinformation Governance Board "every step of the way." And I'm not done yet.I will be working with DHS Sec. Noem to ensure the thousands of pages of documents that the Biden Administration redacted under FOIA are brought to light.
They may be dormant now, but if we don't rip them out at the root, our leftist censors will return sooner than you'd think.ÂAs for Daskal? She lied under oath in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, likely multiple times.
The D.C. Bar, @VenableLLP (her new employer), and the DOJ need to look into what appropriate action might be for something like that. I'm happy to serve as a witness.• • •
