Republican AGs Ask Congress for Help Investigating Fauci’s Handling of Covid; Steve Marshall Signs Onto Letter ‘demanding Accountability’ from Fauci, and other C-Virus related stories
Republican AGs Ask Congress for Help Investigating Fauci’s Handling of Covid:
Republican attorneys general are asking Congress for information necessary to potentially investigate former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R) is leading a group of GOP statewide prosecutors asking congressional Republican leadership for information from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s investigation that could lead to state-level investigations and prosecutions, National Review has learned.
“As state Attorneys General, we possess the authority to address violations of state law or breaches of public trust. We are fully committed to investigating any malfeasance that may have occurred to the fullest extent of our authority and are prepared to collaborate with you in further efforts,” the letter reads.
The letter, addressed to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R., S.D.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.), is signed by more than a dozen red state attorneys general. It is also being sent to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.), Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.), Senator Bill Cassidy (R., La.), and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the National Institutes of Health.
“Our current capabilities may be somewhat limited, and thus, your cooperation would be invaluable. You are uniquely positioned to assist us by providing us with information that could outline potential courses of action under state law, should they exist. If possible, please furnish us with the necessary details so that we may make informed decisions aimed at holding malign actors accountable,” the letter concludes.
The letter does not cite any specific state laws the attorneys general believe Fauci may have broken. Asked whether they have any specific violations in mind that would prompt them to investigate Fauci, Wilson’s office could not offer any specifics.
Former President Joe Biden pardoned Fauci during the final hours of his term to prevent the Trump administration from prosecuting him for perjury. Fauci has insisted he did nothing wrong but thanked Biden for the pardon. —>READ MORE HERE
Steve Marshall signs onto letter ‘demanding accountability’ from Fauci
Alabama’s Attorney General Steve Marshall has signed onto a multi-state letter “demanding accountability” for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s alleged wrongdoings during the COVID-19 pandemic response.
Fauci was the public figurehead at the center of the government’s COVID-19 response for President Donald Trump’s first administration and former President Joe Biden.
Fauci became the subject of partisan attacks including unfounded accusations that he hid evidence that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab. He resigned from his position in 2022 after decades of serving as an infectious disease expert.
The letter, addressed to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, asks that Congress provide states with pertinent information regarding misconduct by Fauci.
Fauci received a pardon from Biden in January, but the Republican attorneys general argue that the pardon does not protect Fauci from state investigations or state-level actions.
The letter cites a GOP-led subcommittee that investigated the country’s response to COVID-19 and its origins but no evidence was ever found that Fauci misbehaved in any manner. —>READ MORE HERE
