Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) demanded answers on March 8 from Secretary of State Antony Blinken about U.S. funding for an organization that recommended censoring conservative outlets over claims they spread disinformation.

An article in The Washington Examiner’s opinion section last month reported on the UK-based Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which received hundreds of thousands of U.S. taxpayer funds from the State Department-backed Global Engagement Center and National Endowment for Democracy.
