Jen Psaki, Biden Administration Try to Quash Subpoena of Former White House Press Secretary

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki is fighting a subpoena that was issued in the Big Tech-government censorship case, claiming she should not be compelled to testify.

Psaki, who left President Joe Biden’s administration in May, should not be burdened by having to sit for a deposition, Jeannie Rhee and other lawyers representing the Virginia resident said in a filing to U.S. court in Alexandria.

The plaintiffs in the censorship case, including the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, convinced a judge to allow them to depose eight current and former administration officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and Psaki.

During her time as press secretary, Psaki was public about the administration’s attempts to pressure Big Tech platforms to take action against users the administration thought were spreading misinformation.
