Nina Jankowicz is President Joe Biden’s pick to serve as executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s new Disinformation Governance Board—and her appointment has already met with some controversy.

Jankowicz has made frequent contributions to the media, publishing articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic and elsewhere. She has also appeared on TV and radio to discuss disinformation as well as Russian and Eastern European issues.

Jankowicz tweeted on Wednesday that she was “Honored to be serving in the Biden Administration @DHSgov and helping shape our counter-disinformation efforts.”

She shared her new official photo in a subsequent tweet and wrote: “a HUGE focus of our work, and indeed, one of the key reasons the Board was established, is to maintain the Dept’s commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, & civil liberties.”

However, there has already been controversy about Jankowicz’sf new role as some conservative news outlets have pointed to previous statements she’s made regarding a laptop believed to belong to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
