It will be several months before a three-judge panel decides whether to reverse the lower court’s decision. If we prevail, the case will return to the District Court and proceed to discovery.

Indebted to my dogged legal team led by @max-e-rodriguez.bsky.social and Rylee Somers-Flanagan. 🙏 3/3

In the brief, my team argues that the lower court applied the wrong legal standard when granting Fox’s Motion to Dismiss. Despite citing the well-established rules for the standard of review on a motion to dismiss, the District Court failed to accept our well-pleaded allegations as true. 2/
PRESS RELEASE Nina Jankowicz Appeal Filed in Defamation Suit Against Fox Today, Nina Jankowicz filed an appeal in her defamation suit against Fox News Network and Fox Corporation. Jankowicz’s appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware lays out why the lower court applied the wrong legal standard when granting FOX’s motion to dismiss. “As we argue in the brief,the lower court’s ruling in this case did not give Nina’s allegations the deference they deserved. This principle has been laid out repeatedly in precedent from the Third Circuit and the Supreme Court,” said Max Rodriguez, one of Jankowicz’s lead attorneys in this case. “As laid out in the brief, these errors and others were made throughout the lower court’s decision and the Third Circuit must reverse and remand.” Jankowicz’s defamation suit was filed against Fox after the network’s months-long drumbeat of false narratives about her and her tenure as Executive Director of the DHS Disinformation Governance Board created disastrous consequences for her, including Fox’s audience harassing her, calling for her death, inviting her to commit suicide, revealing personally identifying information like her home address, and threatening her family. Jankowicz’s appeal explains how the District Court committed one error that permeated every issue it reached and made each of its holdings erroneous. Despite citing the well-established rules for the standard of review on a motion to dismiss, the District Court failed to accept Jankowicz’s well-pleaded allegations as true, failed to draw all inferences from those allegations, and failed to draw inferences in her favor. Instead, the District Court rejected the truth of Jankowicz’s allegations, drew its own inferences not based on the Complaint, and drew inferences in Fox’s favor.

Ending the year on a busy but proud note, today our team along with Upper Seven Law filed an appellate brief in the 3rd Circuit on behalf of @ninajankowicz.com in her defamation case against Fox News. We are deeply honored and proud to represent Nina and help her fight for the justice she deserves.

As many of you know, in 2023 I sued Fox News for defamation.

Today my legal team filed an appeal of the Delaware District Court's decision to grant Fox News's motion to dismiss.

The financial support my GoFundMe donors provided made this appeal possible. 🙏 1/

BIG NEWS! DOJ has settled a whistleblower lawsuit filed by our client against a large real estate asset manager who wrongly obtained PPP loans. This is the first time a company has been held accountable for claiming to need aid while business was booming during the pandemic. 🧵👇
