During the appearence she described disinformation as a "democratic problem," and was eventually asked by Stelter about charges from critics that she's spread disinformation in the past, without actually naming specific allegations.
While Stelter didn't mention anything in particular, Jankowicz responded by noting that she's been accused of spreading disinformation about Hunter Biden's laptop back in October 2020 (ironically by prematurely branding it disinformation), and claimed that she herself wasn't endorsing the allegations that the laptop was bogus, but simply sharing comments made during one of the presidential debates. Curiously, she hasn't posted a single tweet about the laptop being validated as authentic, or any of the contents from it.
The tweet she's referencing is the one below:
But that was hardly her only tweet about Hunter Biden, even if she wants to pretend it was. She's made plenty of other tweets alleging that his laptop was bogus - and has defended Hunter against other unrelated allegations, clearly establishing a bias in his favor.Back on the "laptop from hell," apparently- Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op.

Trump says "Russia, Russia, Russia."
Lots of news yesterday, so initially missed this piece by @shustry casting yet more doubt on the provenance of the NY Post's Hunter Biden story.

In 2019, people in Ukraine were trying to sell access to alleged Biden emails for $5 million. https://t.co/khn5TVrMRW
IC has a high degree of confidence that the Kremlin used proxies to push influence narratives, including misleading or unsubstantiated claims about President Biden, to US media, officials, and influencers, some close to President Trump.

A clear nod to the alleged Hunter laptop.
And this is just one topic. Jankowicz is quite prolific in spreading nonsense, as Jerry Dunleavy has written extensively documenting:Since we just heard about Burisma, just a reminder that Poroshenko's firing of Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin put Hunter Biden under more scrutiny, not less. #Debates2020

NEW: Nina Jankowicz, the head of DHS’s new Disinfo Governance Board, criticized media promotion of the lab leak hypothesis in 2020 & said the Wuhan lab possibility gave the Trump Admin a scapegoat. Chinese state-run outlets repeatedly touted her comments. https://t.co/NFrbGWWjeG

Does anyone spread more disinformation than those taking up the mantle of fighting it?NEW: Nina Jankowicz, who will head DHS’s new Disinfo Governance Board, is a fan of discredited dossier author Chris Steele’s thoughts on disinfo & helped dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop in 2020 by saying “we should view it as a Trump campaign product.” https://t.co/DE107BbFX6
