Rep. Maxine Waters is accusing Fox News of deception after the network published a report saying she requested protection from U.S. marshals aboard a flight.

Waters, a frequent critic of law enforcement, called Fox News’s report detailing her request for accompaniment from U.S. marshals as she traveled to Minneapolis to attend the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin “an absolute lie.”
