According to its website, CIR is an “independent, non-profit social enterprise dedicated to fighting misinformation, exposing human rights abuses, and combating online behavior harmful to women and minorities.”

Founded by British citizen Adam Rutland and dual British-American national Ross Burley, the organization says it conducts research, digital research, strategic communications, building the capacity of local partners and working with the media to “amplify the impact” of their work.

According to the registration documents, the CIR is funded “in part by grants from the UK government, including the Foreign Commonwealth, and the Development Office”.

Among Jankowicz’s responsibilities, the documents say, will be overseeing the investigation, executing business strategy, overseeing the establishment of the CIR investigation, communicating with the media and briefing individuals and officials about the investigation. organization

Fox News Digital has reached out to Jankowicz for comment and additional details about his new role.

Earlier this year, Jankowicz was appointed to lead the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board, a post that was ultimately short-lived.

Critics questioned Jankowicz’s ability to be impartial, pointing to his past positions on social media posts, including questioning the legitimacy of The New York Post’s reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election. This report has since been corroborated by various news organizations.
