How MSNBC smeared a doctor in its endless crusade against Trump — and may pay the price in court
![Dr. Mahendra Amin is suing MSNBC after hosts reported claims that he performed “mass hysterectomies” on ICE center detainees.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/2020-performing-unnecessary-hysterectomies-nurse-85280211.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=744)
MSNBC may finally be facing blowback for its deranged hatred of Donald Trump.
A bombshell $30 million defamation lawsuit against the Democratic mouthpiece recently got the go-ahead from a Georgia judge.
She ruled that Rachel Maddow and friends, goaded by execs of parent company NBCUniversal, recklessly and falsely put out a story claiming a gynecologist working in a Trump-era immigration facility performed “mass hysterectomies’’ on women, most of which were unnecessary.
Yet as reporters breathlessly produced shocking story after story online and on air about the so-called “uterus collector,’’ the TV propagandists privately — in text messages, emails and telephone conference calls — expressed doubts about the veracity of the tale brought to them by a nurse “whistleblower.’’
Ultimately, the source of the hysterical “gotcha’’ reports, an embittered former nurse for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency named Dawn Wooten, admitted her tales about Dr. Mahendra Amin, who treated patients at a Georgia ICE facility, were based on “hearsay.’’
(That didn’t stop her from starting a GoFundMe that raised $100,000, the lawsuit notes.)
