NBC defamation settlement with Georgia doctor finalized in court following MSNBC’s ‘uterus collector’ coverage.

NBC defamation settlement with Georgia doctor finalized in court following MSNBC’s ‘uterus collector’ coverage.

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn , Brian Flood Fox News.

NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News and MSNBC (the latter is currently being spun off as a separate company), settled the $30 million lawsuit filed by Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin. Amin who was the subject of a report claiming he performed unnecessary hysterectomies at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center.

Both parties struck the settlement in February, but the lawsuit was officially dismissed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The terms of the settlement were not publicly disclosed.

“We are pleased that Dr. Amin is able to move on from his years-long litigation against NBCUniversal,” Amin’s attorneys, Stacey Evans and Scott Grubman, told Fox News Digital. “It is unfortunate that he had to sue to get confirmation of what was known all along—that he did not perform mass hysterectomies on women detained at Irwin County Detention Center. We are glad that the judge found those statements false as a matter of law because, in fact, Dr. Amin performed only two hysterectomies, both of which were medically necessary and consented to by the patients.”

“Dr. Amin is a dedicated physician who has dedicated his entire career to serving underserved communities. The recklessness of NBCUniversal to try to paint him as an evil doctor was disgusting and we are glad they finally settled the case,” they added.

Representatives from NBCUniversal and MSNBC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Amin was the subject of an NBC News article in September 2020, which cited a whistleblower’s claim that he was performing unneeded hysterectomies while providing medical care to women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center.

MSNBC quickly followed with a series of on-air reports on “Deadline: White House,” “All In with Chris Hayes” and “The Rachel Maddow Show,” all running with the “uterus collector” label for Amin.

Amin filed a lawsuit against parent company NBCUniversal, alleging he was falsely portrayed as “an abusive, unethical, and dishonest physician who treated and operated on immigrant women in an abusive fashion, without consent, and motivated by profit instead of quality healthcare.”

Judge Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia previously ruled that a jury could reasonably find actual malice and the trial was set to begin April 22, in Waycross, Georgia. In light of the settlement agreement, the court canceled the scheduled trial.

“NBC investigated the whistleblower letter’s accusations; that investigation did not corroborate the accusations and even undermined some; NBC republished the letter’s accusations anyway,” Judge Wood wrote last year in a 108-page summary.

House passes good bill, but will die in the Senate. Restrict rogue judges.

House passes good bill, but will die in the Senate. Restrict rogue judges.

Of course the Senate will kill this bill because seven Democrats must go along with 53 Republicans. And being that the Democrats are using judge shopping, no way do they support this. Below is the result.

The House on Wednesday passed legislation that will prevent federal district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions in a move that seeks to halt rulings that have hampered President Donald Trump’s agenda.

The legislation, the No Rogue Rulings Act, passed by a 219-213 vote, with only one Republican, Rep. Scott Turner of Ohio, joining the Democrat minority. Article III of the Constitution gives Congress authority over how lower federal courts operate.

President Trump (Winning) Wins at the Supreme Court.

Our beloved President had several nice wins at the Supreme Court. US Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

Also Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts indefinitely blocked a court order requiring the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia by midnight tonight.

“The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” Trump said on Truth Social on Monday evening.

Democrat’s 700-Vote Victory Now in Jeopardy as 65,000 Voters Ordered to Prove Eligibility or Be Removed from Count.
In a stunning decision filed Thursday, the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that approximately 65,000 ballots—cast by voters with incomplete registration information, missing photo identification, or submitted by individuals who have never lived in North Carolina—may be invalid under state and federal election law.

So now the election board has to contact all 65,000 folks to see if they can offer proof of their being able to prove who they are. They have 15 days to show proof.

Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin to Terminate Teaching Grants That Violate DEI (Progressives N Word) Policy.

NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to terminate Education Department grants for teacher training that official deemed to violate their new policy opposing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

The decision blocks a Massachusetts-based judge’s ruling that said the administration had failed to follow the correct legal process in terminating the grants. About $65 million in grant payments are outstanding.

The decision is the first win for President Donald Trump at the Supreme Court in his second term.

A temporary win. The Judge asked for all personal information to be released. Information that had nothing to do with what DOGE WAS DOING.

The appeals court said the judge must rule on the Trump DOJ’s motion to dismiss the case first.

Judge says cut, cut, cut. Lifts ban on buyouts.

President Trump campaigned saying he would cut the size of government and find waste and fraud. And he started offering generous employee buyouts. Folks taking them were union.

Union workers by the tens of thousands said we want out. Well the unions went to court and got a temporary stay. But that ended. We have this.

CBS News reported:

A federal judge in Massachusetts allowed the Trump administration’s bid to offer “deferred resignations” to federal workers who voluntarily leave government service to continue and lifted a previous court order pausing the program’s deadline.

Judge George O’Toole, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, ruled Wednesday that the plaintiffs in the case — unions that represent federal employees — lacked standing to bring the case in the first place. He also ruled he did not have the jurisdiction to stop the program from proceeding.

Some great Trump executive orders. Including one involving 51 Traitors.

Some great Trump executive orders. Including one involving 51 Traitors.

President Trump yesterday signed 200 executive orders and in those 200 were the J6 pardons and the revoking of security clearance of 51 former intel officers.

The letter came after the New York Post reported they had emails showing Hunter Biden coordinated for Joe Biden to meet with a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma months before pressuring Ukrainian officials to oust a prosecutor investigating the company.

Other executive orders Trump signed on day one include rescinding nearly 80 executive orders and memoranda issued under Biden, issuing a regulatory and hiring freeze upon the federal government, preventing “government censorship” of free speech, and directing every department and agency to address the cost-of-living crisis.
