Independent journalist Matt Taibbi warned the House Judiciary Committee that a key player in the deep state censorship cartel could continue its nefarious activities in government.

Taibbi, known for his work on The Twitter Files, testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on “The Censorship-Industrial Complex” Wednesday. During the hearing, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) asked Taibbi about the current status of the infamous Global Engagement Center (GEC), a State Department Program responsible for pushing for censorship on social media and giving $100,000 to the anti-free speech Global Disinformation Index (GDI). Taibbi made clear that State Department bureaucrats were trying to continue the GEC’s work after losing funding.
