MSNBC Settles $30M Defamation Suit Over False ICE Facility Claims

MSNBC has reached a settlement in a $30 million defamation lawsuit after multiple hosts, including Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Nicolle Wallace, falsely claimed that a Georgia doctor performed “mass hysterectomies” on female detainees at an ICE facility. The allegations, based on a now-discredited whistleblower, were ruled verifiably false by a federal judge. The network opted to settle rather than face trial, but no disciplinary actions are expected for the hosts involved.
