A judge in Virginia has refused to quash a subpoena issued to Psaki seeking her deposition in a lawsuit filed by Missouri and Louisiana.

FILE - White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during a press briefing at the White House in Washington on March 9, 2022. A judge refused Friday to quash a subpoena issued to former White House press secretary Jen Psaki that seeks her deposition in a lawsuit filed by Missouri and Louisiana, alleging that the Biden administration conspired to silence conservative voices on social media.

The Louisiana judge has already issued an order saying that Psaki and other government officials can be deposed. That order is being appealed. He also said Psaki failed to show how sitting for a deposition in her home state would be an undue burden. In fact, he said that if Psaki has little information to contribute, as she alleges, it shouldn't be much of a burden at all.

You should be subpoenaed

Wow. You're back. That was quick. Just in- cbsnews Twitter run by Christine Teigen

You guys have been spewing lies and propaganda so long that you have lost touch of reality. Alternate media is going to replace you.

“Until these courts of law are stable, , out an abundance of caution, will not follow any subpoenas served to us…”

Weren't u leaving?

CBS =Propaganda

I see the clampdown on disinformation is effectively working with your departure. Let's be real, losing a 'top news' source, managing maybe a couple hundred 'likes' per Tweet, won't really be missed.

Can she circle back with you on that?

8.8m followers and 300 likes? 🤔

I thought you were pausing your activity on Twitter out of an abundance of caution. Just more virtue signaling is see..

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

8.8M 'followers' and 306 likes on this tweet a full day later 🤔🤔 elonmusk

DON'T COME BACK! LEFTISTS HACKS. LIARS. ENEMIES TO THIS NATION. NAZIS!

Your source for original reporting and trusted news. - Reliable...Most of their followers are fake...

oh no....this GD communist propagandist will have to answer REAL questions....oh the humanity....eat👇🏻🖕🏻

Just unfollowed. Will follow again if I somehow see you're back...

Deactivate. The trash is literally taking itself out over free speech 😂🤣

Get off Twitter. You suck and you lie.

Just Get off twitter, delete your account and leave.

Glad you are gone. Your fake news doesn't matter. Hopefully you can make all the money back you spent on fake followers.

Appeal. Appeal. Appeal.

Please go one step further CBS delete your accounts.

Bye, bye! En la era de la libre expresión ustedes no tienen cabida.

Fact HunterBidenlaptop Burisma ukrainejoe HunterBiden

Bye byeeeeeeee! Scum!

The things everyone was scared of Trump doing as president, the POTUS crime family was doing in front of us with zero repercussions. Censoring, tax evasion, being owned by our enemies(China), and getting us into a war(Russia). I’d censor if I were joe and Kamala too. Sickening

Hi, guys.

You've made a lot of people happy, but so glad you're leaving Twitter as at least we're all spared of the fake news you've always spread, - and now fewer people will see, so fewer people will be harmed by it. PS - What's this account still active for?

So ALL Dems do NOT have immunty from the justice system (only the Dems the Dems like get immunity 🤣). Thank you to the Virginia judge for upholding the law! 👏👏👏👏👏

Go woke. Go broke.

Wouldn’t expect anything less from a trash new source, good riddance.

THE MANIFESTATIONS ARRIVE ON THE 20TH DAY. ATTENTION PEOPLE! . BRAZIL WAS STOLEN. THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT CHOSEN PPR LULA CONDUCTED THE ELECTIONS. THE PRESIDENT-ELECT IS A CONVICTED THIEF. THEREFORE, ALL OF BRAZIL IS ON THE STREETS. I AM FROM THE SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY

THE MANIFESTATIONS ARRIVE ON THE 20TH DAY. ATTENTION PEOPLE! . BRAZIL WAS STOLEN. THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT CHOSEN PPR LULA CONDUCTED THE ELECTIONS. THE PRESIDENT-ELECT IS A CONVICTED THIEF. THEREFORE, ALL OF BRAZIL IS ON THE STREETS. I AM FROM THE SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY

LOL

I didn’t Even realize you even existed here in Twitter. Then again I wouldn’t consider your network a truth telling news sources. I guess much isn’t going to be affected. Adios, byes, and good luck. Maybe you can use truth social lol

How’s the indoctrination going at CBS?

I thought you were talking your ball and going home?

come out cowards :D Hiding under the bed, doesn't make the truth go away. You might actually have to talk about actual news, not your feelings.

Why do you have 8.8 million followers and only 284 likes on this tweet?

CBS please leave. You announced a pause. Just leave. It's not like you tell the truth. This 👇🏼is what FAKE BS you push

Good! Now, Buy bye!

Delete your account...

CBS doesn’t like Elon so they’re leaving. LOL

Why still here? Press the DEACTIVATE button.

delete your account, i'm waiting.

Lol deactivate your account ya goofs

Just found out you're not going to be tweeting your fake ass news anymore 🥰🥰🥰 what a blessed day!

Btw , why are you still using Twitter? Didn't you announced that your own network is suspending your twitter activity? Is this pretending to forget? You knew and realized that your absence (suspending tweets) here is really irrelevant & unimportant to most Americans.

Whats,s Up here?

See, CBS has been gone a day, and no one even knew they were gone.

Didn’t you guys just say y’all are leaving Twitter?

Do the right thing for the American people and never come back to twitter again

‘'How much time does it take to prepare a witness for deposition when she doesn't really have anything to say?' Davis asked.’ Then why hassle her at all?

CBS is a facist anti freedom platform. They hate free speech.

Delete your account now

Bye bye CBS Fake News. You won't be missed.

L news channel

Plsss don't go! Where will I get my fake news from? 🤣

Get your partisan fake news off my site.

CBS News still *actively* on Chinese-controlled TikTok, but not on American-owned Twitter. What does that say to onlookers?

Fake news get lost

Leaving Twitter? Bye liberal trash rag!

Thought you are leaving?

Trump’s back bitches!

BYE BYE

RemindMe_OfThis in 24 hours

Close your account, toadies!

Is it true? Are you going to go? So Elon really is dealing with Misinformation. Bye bye fakenews

If there was any doubt as to whether they were biased or not, here's the confirmation. Go straight to hell CBS, you've been dieing a slow death, glad our suffering is over.

You are fake news. You are the enemy of the People. Have a nice day.

Just heard your leaving twitter. Bye 👋 😂🇺🇸👍

Circling back

8.8mm followers and 260 likes. How much did your bots cost?

Hey CBS, I understand you hate Trump and want to punish elonmusk for his bad behaviour so you are going to withhold content. Not to worry, I got the content covered. Enjoy.

Your not just news, your fake news

CBS, a supposed news agency is leaving twitter because they disagree with the idea of FREE SPEECH. CBS is more of an opinion outlet VS real journalism so it's understandable why they are upset that an opposing view is allowed to be heard. This is really what it's all about.

ScottAdamsSays

You are suspending twitter activity? Wow How strong you are You literally are journalists and you run from this like cowards and your tail is between your legs. We see you as cowards and only care about YOUR politics. YES INDEED

Probably because CBS gets fewer reactions than high-schoolers. And CBS has 8.8 millions followers lol.

Please tell me the rumor of leaving twitter is true. This is a textbook example of liberalism being a mental disorder. They truly can't mentally cope with opposing ideas. What's the matter CBS, afraid your BS lies are going to be called out more now?

Taking your ball home crying like a petulant child..don't let the door hit you!

Hey why isn’t this account deleted

CBS IS FAKE NEWS! Only reason why they’re leaving is because elonmusk is cracking down on misinformation that they & other LIB outlets were pumping out. Thank you Elon for taking out the trash.😀

Hilarious to think that CBS actually is pretending to have scruples now. 😆 Pepperidge Farm remembers when your dick was in the dirt because of sham reporting…

.

Don’t come back for a long time.

L.

the city of Mahabad with heavy artillery and is shooting at the houses of innocent people! The Islamic Republic is slaughtering innocent people! Be the voice of the people of Mahabad! MahsaAmini IranRevolution

CBS who?

Was it the $8

Leave Twitter now

Get off Twitter, now.

I feel less informed and sadly miss your timely, accurate, ethical, non-partisan posts here on Twitter. Just kidding, Ya hack 🤡s

It’s going to be epic when you start tweeting again

Heard that you are quitting. Please delete your twitter account. So you never come back. Very few people read your posts anyway 🤣🤣

Hasta la vista! 🤡

Good riddance. Cbs no longer posting is a win

Delete your account & lay off all employees. You're HATED by the public. Please go away.

Won't be able to circle back this time.

Why the duck are you still tweeting?

Get off Twitter already

So long sucka!

What are you so afraid of CBS? I will tell you. You are afraid of losing your position as 'The Ministry of Truth'. The determination of main stream media to crush the new Twitter is sickening and scary.

Reports CBS News is leaving Twitter after Trump reinstatement. Your fools, based on your logic you should stop supporting Democrat leaders who did not condemn or even supported BLM/Antifa riots that destroyed parts of this country & small minority businesses.

knock Knock can you hear us? The Islamic Republic has attacked the city of Mahabad with heavy artillery and is shooting at the houses of innocent people! The Islamic Republic is slaughtering innocent people! Be the voice of the people of Mahabad! MahsaAmini IranRevolution

The Islamic Republic Regime in Iran is massacring Kurdish people in Mahabad city. Half of the city's electricity was cut off, and gunfire continued toward protesters. Be their voice mahsaamini SOSMahabad Mahabad

Threatening to leave is cool and all, but the real baller move would be to deactivate your account, and stop making up news all together.

Suspending post your news on twitter shows you were a pawn of democrats the whole time!

'8.8M Followers' 😅😅 ya.. ok..

Their lawsuit alleges “conspiring to silence conservative voices” What does that have to do with “blocking disinformation on CoVid-19” ? Unless….

You are still here….hit the deactivate button.

Please say it’s true, cbs news is leaving Twitter.

8.8 million followers. 30 retweets. 😂😂😂 CAUGHT! BYE!!!

Leaving Twitter? Let me know when so I can block CBS on my TV

Bye now.

Can’t believe is so repulsed by free speech that they want to cancel Elon Musk for promoting free speech.

and t'us... this Tweet makes history. and not for the reason they want.

stay on twitter. Don't leave.

Where’s my news? I don’t watch TV because I’m busy working… a lot. Seriously no joke Twitter is my one stop shopping… be a terrible shame to loose my CBS news. I would be at the mercy of BBC world news… quitting is not an option… don’t walk away…

Trash

Bye 👋

A massacre is happening in the city of Mahabad The regime cut the internet and electricity! Attacked the city with heavy arms. We need to amplify their voices.MahabadMassacre مهاباد

I'm going to laugh my ass of when you start tweeting again. How many days can you resist?

You've been exposed CBS

I thought you guys were going to quit using twitter.. WTF CIA Broadcasting Soviet Propagandists.. LOL.. make up your minds.

Y’all stopped tweeting so you don’t get fact checked lol.

Pause forever pls.

Why would you stop disseminating news and editorial on Twitter? This decision makes no sense to me.

I thought you Woke Liberals were leaving Twitter Go on. You are toxic.

Of course the DOJ supports the 'quashing' of the subpoena. Ironic.... dontcha think

Howw the pause going? How's that web traffics doing?

Good

Here’s my question: Why did your producers feel the need to write the actual word?

Still here? We though the ADL forced you to take a break from Twitter. kanyewest elonmusk

Stop posting you said you was leaving so bye Felicia

Twitter threatens to break your control of the political narrative, so you walk away. Pretty funny . Can’t say that I’ll miss you, because I never watched you’re biased reporting to begin with.

I thought you were pausing your activity on Twitter CBS News? Could you go back to pausing your activity on Twitter CBS News? You are not needed here TBH

jrpsaki

Apparently hates free speech.

A genocide right now in mahabad in iran is taking place.

I thought you had left, dam.

CBS smells like doo doo & decomposing VaChina

Good. Is she afraid of something?

Lol you can’t post sh*t now lololol. I know you’re reading this, but you can’t reply.

Clownery

You gonna tweet anymore or nah?

good we dont want you posting on twitter anyway woker news

Bye, ! Take your other CBS accounts with you!

Bye Bye

fakenews don't let the door hit you on the way out clownshoes

Didn’t you losers say you were leaving Twitter - do you lie about everything?

I thought your feelings were hurt and you needed a break from your Twitter relationship. What gives?

8.8 million followers huh? Bye Bye Fake News! We will mock and laugh at you from afar.

One less fake news garbage outlet on here. Awesome.

Lying has consequences Gingie!

CBS, upon learning they won't be able to lie like a dog on twitter moving forward, wants to pick up their lying ball and leave. Lol, America is better off without you here. Take NBCNews and their lying ass with you.

Thank you for boycotting QELON muskrat

Hey, why haven't y'all deleted your account yet? If not, can we assume you're racists? If you need to pause your accoutn, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just delete it. You can always start another one? Are y'all really that full of sht? You're journalists, right?

8.8 million followers and only 183 likes in a day 🤣🤣🤣 FAKENEWS BOTS

How do you supposedly have 8.8M followers but barely 100 people respond to your posts LOL 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣😂

Please don't return to twitter. Thanks!

Bye CBS! 👋 We won't miss you

How is this upsetting democrats. If she doesn't have anything of value to say then the deposition won't be a thing at all. The democrats are for suppression of free speech? Be careful, someday the republicans may do the same to you. Free speech !!

See the lies you spend will catch up with you eventually

heard you deleting your account sorry to see you go (not really) but checking in if you needed help in deleting your account

When are you deleting your account?

8.8 million alleged followers but barely any engagement on their tweets. We know why you stopped tweeting...

Dinosaur propagandist legacy media not posting here anymore is a wonderful fucking thing. Should delete your account all together.

Please never come back. You do nothing but spread disinformation. You find that pee tape yet?

Don’t let the electronic door hit ya CBS. Liberal Propagandists are throwing fits like CBS that Musk has an ‘Open Forum’.

Worst news station out here

I heard that you won't be posting on Twitter indefinitely. Thank you

Did you just take your ball and go home? Sucks to suck

LOL. Now she is hiding in her basement.

Bye bye Felicia

Good. That's called justice.

Psaki . Pawer.

8.8m followers and 47 retweets?😮‍💨🤔

👶🍼

So because she's was a democrat's press secretary she doesn't have to pay out of pocket expenses to defend herself.....Welcome to what the republican's have been facing for the past 6 years!

Good

Out of an abundance of caution, why don't you delete your account just to be safe. If you decide to come back later I'm sure you'd be allowed to make a new one. Might have to work for that checkmark again, though.

STOP POSTING THIS PLATFORM IS SO UNSAFE OH THE DANGER OF THIS PLATFORM ITS SO BAD.

I thought you were taking your ball and going home CBS. Why are you still here?

Leave already .

BYE LEAVE ALREADY DELETE ACCOUNT PLEASE

I think it’s hilarious that CBS News has a present so large on Twitter that literally one person could do it in a part-time position. Save on benefits CBS!

CBSNews, proving again it makes decisions based on TheDemocrats talking points, has paused Twitter activity—certainly for no other reason than to protest ElonMusk’s takeover & to undermine his company. CBS is a biased, compromised org for which “news” is a much lesser goal.

Gotta love when the trash takes itself out. Now stay out!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great news! Your propaganda is on hiatus for awhile?

CBS News FEARS Free Speech

A downstream media corporation is cutting itself off from all the news? A little like holding your breath. You’ll soon learn that you have no choice but to be here, and you’re showing your listenership that you don’t understand network effects at all.

I thought you were leaving Twitter? Be gone with you! WE DON'T NEED FAKE NEWS

Good news Woohoo 🙌 bye bye 👋

I thought you dinosaurs were leaving Twitter 😂

This is your last tweet. You can’t because you said so.

Yep. don't fk with VA.

So y’all were joking about taking your misinformation elsewhere?

Apparently CBS News doesn't like it when EVERYONE is allowed to exercise their 1st amendment right. Good riddance.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out CBS 🙂

delete your account

If you suspended Twitter, why are you still here? GET GONE!

RIP

I thought y’all quit Twitter? Or was that just more bullshit trying to get attention or something?

I thought you were done lying on Twitter? Buh bye

Hello. Where are you CBS news?

Imagine being a media/news company thats against free speech...

Lol so the crooked DOJ & Biden Admin wants a judge to stop the investigation into Democrat corruption using the DOJ FBI IRS as weapons to attack political opponents

Lol so CNS news announced it is leaving Twitter because they not like that Elon Musk is allowing REAL News, Free Speech, Facts & Truth on Twitter. CBS News can no longer lie and push left wing propaganda without being called out for lying!

8.8 million followers, sub 200 interactions. No wonder you are running scared.

good !

Buh bye

Great news! Get peppermint patty and her lies!

👋🏼

You guys (CBS) are weak and pathetic.

i thought you were pausing all activity on Twitter?

She sat there on TV lying to my face and im supposed to feel sorry for her?

Why are you tweeting? I thought you were leaving Twitter.

When are you guys leaving Twitter? Best news of the week - let the misinformation you peddle gosomewhere else ! 🤣🤣🤣🥔🥔🥔

Good riddance...don't come back!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bye! Take MSNBC with you. “Triggered by Musk, CBS News announces it’s suspending all Twitter activity out of ‘abundance of caution’ One Twitter user mocked the network's decision as 'so stupid my head hurts'”

Now we see who the Fascists are. CBS applauded the censorship of conservatives and they applauded the propaganda from leftists. CBS has now confirmed what most of us already knew. They are nothing but a propaganda machine for the Democrat Party.

You promised us that you are leaving twitter. Just more fake news? Please do the right thing and keep your word! Not trying to stifle your free speech, but no need to hear more radical opinions if we have the option

Because is not a credible news source, no one cares if they suspend activity on Twitter.😆 No on gives a 💩 about CBS News. Ever since DanRather was caught w/ fake evidence & a fake news story about W Bush just before the 2004 election, DailyMail is more credible!🤣

I swear to God I have logged 12,000 pictures sued Verizon in court they ripped me off nine months telling me postpaid account was secure found out stayed with AT&T all along have three Subpoenas to release porting documents court ordered they rejected

Later bitches

Im a victim of the false accusation of malinformation manipulated big tech into discriminating against me destroying my life credit business social family reputation all over accusations that were protected by my right to free speech somebody do a story on me

No. Don't go. Please.

I'm glad y'all stopped tweeting. Makes the platform a better place. Please stay silent, you bunch of losers.

CBS hasn’t reported real news in 30 years. Shut your Twitter account down now. You’re nothing but a bunch of fake news that never reports corruption on democrats. I haven’t listened to you since 2000

May not be good form to self-censor yourselves, especially as a news outlet. This truth tells the world that you care more about agenda driven narratives than you do the news. Use that one eye you got left to find God. We will be here when you're ready to join the talk.

bolshevik mockingbird media

She a woke joke like C BS !

The liars and fraudsters will be exposed!!

Don't go away mad... Just go away

Wow look at all the traction CBS gets on their tweets….lol.

You’re still here fakenews? But what about the “abundance of caution” … and the “uncertainty of Twitter”? 🤡😂🤡

Why should she testify? She is the person responsible for spreading the misinformation and lies coming from the Biden administration!

I can see why you are 'pausing' - low interaction. My master's degree is not in journalism, but maybe stop being so partisan in your coverage...just a thought.

CBS

You're leaving right?

She belongs in prison next to crooked Hillary.

Exert executive privilege

Republicans will start flooding the courts with subpoenas being reviewed by ‘loyal’ judged

Last tweet from cbs ever, lol.

Subpoena the hell out of her. If she refuses to appear slap on the handcuffs and perp walk her for the cameras. Full Bannon treatment, MFers.

Figures a liar like Psaki would be afraid of getting subpoenas.

Are you pausing updates to news on twitter? Stop any advertisers you have on here. Elon Musk is turing this place into a haven for NAZIS.

Losers

👇🚨 you’ll be back suckers!

Who’s the judge?

Just as the republicans would do girl, plead the 5th. And, you don’t recall and so on

Personally I look forward to Psaki and her expert snark to embarrass the snot out of these attorneys general. I'm sorry that she will be inconvenienced for such a ridiculous claim but her wit and intelligence will put on quite a show.

Everyone knows big tech and mainstream media are on side of Dems.

They did silence our voices, they know she can't lie good and the truth will come out

Just answer every question with I don’t recall

It's the new political strategy. Bury your opponents in legal costs. I haven't checked the scoreboard lately.

missouri and louisiana have to hire lawyers from the northeast u s just to be able to spell 'deposition' on a deposition

So, just don't show up like everybody else.

She's gonna sing like a canary.

American propagandist being revealed.

Just tell them to go to hell. That’s the precedent set by trumpers

Squashing subpoena and not showing up at the court is only allowable by Republicans!

Seems order, common sense & good governance in the public interest, in genuine American values is being restored in the US? Just as soon as they attend to political vendettas as the primary task, despite the many obvious more serious challenges facing the nation? PoliticsFirst

Excellent

It's a frivolous lawsuit. Ignore it just like Republicans do.

Appeal it, just like Repugs do

What is she hiding?

Blatant First Amendment violations

Funny how republicans insist democrats follow all the rules and laws they themselves shit all over.

This is what the next two years is going to be like. Ridiculous

She along with the administration violated our 1A rights Democrats will continue to bend over more for them though, no doubt.
