According to the report of the Capitol Hill on May 18 local time, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will suspend its recently established "information governance board", and its leader, Nina jankowicz, a false intelligence expert, will also resign from the Department.
It is reported that the purpose of the "false information management committee" is to crack down on the dissemination of false information that will affect border security, people's security during the disaster and the credibility of the government. However, the committee was suspended only three weeks after its establishment. The Ministry of homeland security made a decision to stop its operation on the 16th, and jankowitz submitted a letter of resignation on the 17th. Once the news was announced, it triggered criticism from Republicans. Some civil rights organizations and liberals said the Department of Homeland Security was not transparent enough in presenting the Commission's mission to assess it. It is reported that during the suspension of the committee, its work will be in the charge of the homeland security consulting Council of the Ministry of homeland security. (CCTV reporter Xu Zhen)
