The U.S. State Department is planning to close a center that aimed to combat disinformation but ended up targeting some Americans, the U.S. government has announced.

Government lawyers said in a Dec. 9 court filing that the State Department’s Global Engagement Center is likely to be terminated on Dec. 23, absent congressional action.
