Judge rules Jen Psaki must be deposed in lawsuit over alleged ‘collusion’ with Big Tech to censor speech

FOX: A federal judge ruled Monday that former White House press secretary Jen Psaki must comply with a subpoena and offer deposition in a lawsuit that claims the Biden administration colluded with Big Tech to censor speech.

Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana on Monday rejected a motion by attorneys for Psaki to block a court-ordered deposition, and said there is public interest in “determining whether First Amendment free speech rights have been suppressed.”

Monday’s order follows a ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis, who on Friday transferred the case back to Louisiana after Psaki attempted to fight the deposition in a Virginia court where she lives and would be deposed. Biden’s Justice Department supported her effort.

“Ms. Psaki’s effort to eliminate or delay her deposition in this action had failed because of the swift action of two judges in widely dispersed courts, one in Virginia and one in Louisiana, and by the implausibility of her reasons for not testifying as to Federal efforts to censure social media that made quick resolution possible,” John J. Vecchione, senior counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance, said in a press statement. NCLA supports the lawsuit against Psaki. more

  1. Why should she bother to show up?

    I remember Hillary’s private-server IT guy being subpoenaed.
    Dude said “fuck you” and didn’t bother to show up.
    Nothing happened to him.
    No contempt of court, no jail and no fine.
    Zip-zero-nada…

  2. One can only hope she will be forced to comply, and anything with “I don’t recall” will at a minimum include contempt of court charges.

    Not holding my breath however…

  3. Yes Ann, Donald Trump should not plead the Fifth at any time considering he is guaranteed a fair trial and impartial jury in DC and Arlington, Virginia.

    Go fuck yourself, you know the goddamn difference!
