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"
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas himself testified to Congress that she was the co-chair.
Not 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.
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.
As 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.

The Trump Administration just declared the EEOC’s disparate-impact regime unconstitutional.
Disparate impact forced employers to trade neutral standards for racial quotas.
This is a direct strike on one of the Left’s favorite tools for forcing racial outcomes through law.
For decades, disparate impact let our managerial elite treat neutral standards as suspect if they produced the “wrong” racial numbers.
It banned things like background checks, aptitude tests, knowledge exams, hiring screens, and merit-based selection.
That regime is over.
OLC’s conclusion is clear: EEOC’s Title VII guidelines are unconstitutional because they impose liability based on disparate outcomes alone and pressure employers into race-based decision making.
According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, its client is challenging the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011’s redistricting mandates under the Fifteenth Amendment and federal Voting Rights Act.
That is exactly the kind of litigation Callais invites.
Illinois did not hide the ball.
When Gov. Pritzker signed the maps, he invoked the Illinois Voting Rights Act and praised redistricting plans designed to preserve “clusters of minority voters” with “collective electoral power.”
Virginia's map just got struck down. Is California next?
California's "mapmaker" drew its new maps to "ensure" that racially gerrymandered "VRA seats are bolstered in order to make them most effective." That's illegal under Callais.
@AAGDhillon: Here's how we can do it. đź§µ
California state law requires an "independent" Commission to draw its district maps.
But Newsom and state Legislature Dems overrode the Commission last year to gerrymander.
That meant hiring a "mapmaker"—Paul Mitchell—to do it.
But he drew an illegal racial gerrymander.
Before SCOTUS's recent Callais decision, courts interpreted the VRA to effectively *require* racial quotas in gerrymandering.
As Justice Thomas explained, that was “repugnant to any nation that strives for the ideal of a color-blind Constitution.”
Today—as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution—I urged @DAGToddBlanche and @AAGDhillon to act on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.
DOJ has the power to enforce this decision nationwide and must use it to end illegal racially-gerrymandered districts.
My Subcommittee has oversight responsibility for constitutional rights, civil-rights enforcement, and DOJ's Civil Rights Division.
We are going to use it.
It's time to enforce our laws and our color-blind Constitution. We must undo prior race-based actions.
The Supreme Court has now made clear: "Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act . . . was designed to enforce the Constitution—not collide with it."
That means DOJ cannot keep treating Section 2 as a license to force States to sort Americans into districts by race.
