A federal judge said this week that a defamation case against MSNBC can proceed and has a high likelihood of success after ruling that network hosts, including Rachel Maddow, made “verifiably false” statements about a doctor suing for defamation.
In 2020, Dr. Mahendra Amin, an obstetrician-gynecologist working at the Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, faced serious allegations when a nurse at the facility made a whistleblower complaint. The complaint accused Amin of performing unnecessary hysterectomies on migrant women detained at the center, Fox News reported.
NBC reporters Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley investigated to verify the whistleblower’s allegations against Amin, the report said. Despite facing initial skepticism from NBCUniversal’s standards department, they published an article on the matter.
But court documents said that Amin “performed only two hysterectomies on women detained at the facility.”
