'This travesty has gone on long enough': Trump admin annihilates rebrand of Obama's censorship agency | Blaze Media

The Global Engagement Center, a multi-agency entity housed within the U.S. State Department that was credibly accused of working with domestic and foreign organizations to silence conservative voices, was supposedly shuttered on Dec. 23, 2024. This closure was, however, a sleight of hand. In the final weeks of the Biden administration, the censorious practices undertaken by the agency established by Barack Obama in 2011 and the officials who executed them were migrated to a new outfit called the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI) Hub. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the closure of the State Department's R/FIMI, which reportedly had 40 employees and a budget of over $51 million.
