A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, spurned her arguments, which were backed by the Justice Department, that she had nothing significant to offer the attorneys general, and the case was returned to Louisiana where the deposition demand against Psaki was approved.At the heart of Psaki's argument was the notion that the subpoena for deposition amounted to an undue burden on her.
Last month, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana approved the bid from the Republican attorneys general to depose Psaki, alongside Dr. Anthony Fauci and a handful of other Biden administration officials. The judge who gave the go-ahead had been appointed by former President Donald Trump.
Psaki had stoked ire from conservatives last year when she claimed at the White House podium that the administration was"flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation." The Republican pair has sought additional information about the Biden administration's content flagging apparatus.
