MSNBC has settled a $30 million defamation lawsuit with Dr. Mahendra Amin, a gynecologist at an ICE detention facility. The lawsuit followed false accusations that he was a 'uterus collector' and performed unnecessary hysterectomies on migrants. Although the claims originated from a nurse's whistleblower complaint, Amin argued the reports were based on unverified information. A judge ruled that several statements made on MSNBC were verifiably false. The settlement allows NBCUniversal to avoid a jury trial over the serious allegations against Amin.
