Jennifer Daskal, one of President Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board leaders, doesn’t just have several ties to liberal billionaire George Soros. Federal Election Commission records reveal that Daskal was also an aide to Biden during the 2020 cycle.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pledged the censorship board will “operate in a ‘nonpartisan and apolitical manner.’” However, now we know this is apparently false. FEC records revealed that Daskal — whom Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas named a Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) “co-chair” — donated at least $1,150 to President Joe Biden’s campaign and $950 to the Biden Victory Fund during the 2020 electoral cycle. The prior donations not only throw a wrench in the White House’s “nonpartisan” selling point for the DGB, but they also present a potentially major conflict of interest for Daskal as the board’s co-chair.

The money trail leading directly to Biden’s campaign shatters whatever objectivity the White House was trying to slap on its Ministry of Truth. Also undercutting the board’s objectivity, Daskal previously worked for Soros as an Open Society Institute fellow, as MRC Business and MRC Free Speech America recently exposed. MRC found two additional connections between Daskal, Soros and Daskal. The connections included Daskal’s tenure as senior counterterrorism counsel for the Soros-funded, anti-Semitic Human Rights Watch and her liberal blog Just Security, also funded by Soros. Between 2000 and 2014, Soros donated at least $32,106 7,746 to Human Rights Watch and just $675,000 between 2017-2019 to Just Security. National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy referred to Daskal in 2009 as a “left-wing activist who advocated on behalf of al Qaeda prisoners” while working with Human Rights Watch.
The fact that a Soros-connected Biden donor is teaming up with the self-proclaimed “Mary Poppins of disinformation” Nina Jankowicz to lead the DGB to police speech generates a leftist Orwellian nightmare. JankowiczSpread false Trump Russia collusion talk points, ranging from debunked Alfa Bank narrative in 2016 to praise for a speech parodying the Steele Dossier. She even triedTo dismiss the verified New York Post Hunter Biden laptop story as a “Russian influence op.” Jankowicz is also on record calling for the U.K. to establish acceptable speech standards for the country.
MRC attempted to verify FEC donations records through 45 phone calls, email and tweet messages. MRC reached out to the White House, DHS, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and American University’s Washington College of Law. Biden was her 2020 campaign donor because Daskal was a Professor at this law school.
The White House Press Office referred MRC to DHS after seven calls and eight emails between the two entities. CISA also referred MRC Headquarters to DHS Headquarters, even though CISA falls under DHS. MRC attempted to contact the department even through Twitter. No government agency was able to respond to our request for verification of FEC records. American University’s law school also declined to comment at the time of publishing.
