Do you remember Nina Yankovic? She’s the left-wing lunatic the Biden administration wants to install in the Department of Homeland Security as a “disinformation” czar.
Yankovic sued Fox News and criticized several of her hosts by name. Yankovic claimed it was defamation.
Now, a judge has dismissed her case, a major victory for Fox and a heavy blow for Yankovic.

Defamation lawsuit dismissed, Fox News wins court victory
Fox News claimed a legal victory on Monday with the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit filed by former “disinformation czar” Nina Yankovic.
Judge Colm F. Connolly, a federal judge in Delaware, dismissed Yankovic’s complaint that several Fox News hosts — including Maria Bartiromo, Sean Hannity and former Host Tucker Carlson – targeted her on the show and said she had been “repeatedly belittled and slandered in serious conduct.” ”.
Yankovic is a Russian disinformation expert and former executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s now-defunct Disinformation Management Council. She claimed that the host’s comments, which accused her of enforcing government-backed censorship of free speech (which she denies), threatened her personal safety and career and led to her resignation from the group.
For her part, Yankovic is still pushing a disinformation narrative on social media. watch:
