   Judge rules Jen Psaki must be deposed in

   A federal judge ruled Monday that former White House press secretary   
   Jen Psaki must comply with a subpoena and offer deposition in a lawsuit   
   that claims the Biden administration colluded with Big Tech to censor   
   speech.   
      
   Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana on Monday   
   rejected a motion by attorneys for Psaki to block a court-ordered   
   deposition, and said there is public interest in "determining whether   
   First Amendment free speech rights have been suppressed."   
      
   Monday’s order follows a ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis,   
   who on Friday transferred the case back to Louisiana after Psaki   
   attempted to fight the deposition in a Virginia court where she lives   
   and would be deposed. Biden’s Justice Department supported her effort.   
      
   Republican Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry   
   of Louisiana first filed the lawsuit in May, accusing top-ranking   
   government officials of working with the giant social media companies   
   Meta, Twitter and YouTube "under the guise of combating misinformation"   
   in order to achieve greater censorship.
