Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill joined South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and a coalition of state attorneys general in an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate. In a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the attorneys general commend ongoing Congressional efforts to uncover misconduct and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws.
"I’ve joined my colleagues in requesting information on Dr. Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 response. His shocking pardon by Joe Biden does not prohibit any state-level investigation or legal proceedings. Louisiana will follow the evidence," said Attorney General Liz Murrill.
The letter follows the release of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s final report, which details widespread failures and potential misconduct by high-ranking government officials, including Dr. Fauci. The report highlights misleading public statements regarding COVID-19’s origins, mismanagement of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, and efforts to suppress scientific discussions about vaccine risks.
Key Findings from the Congressional Report:
- Origins of COVID-19 – Evidence suggests Dr. Fauci worked to discredit the “lab leak” theory despite mounting evidence supporting it.
- Misleading Congress on NIH Funding – Dr. Fauci allegedly provided false testimony regarding NIH-funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
- NIH Oversight Failures – The NIH reportedly mismanaged taxpayer funds by failing to properly oversee grants to EcoHealth Alliance, which funneled funding to the Wuhan lab.
- Suppression of Scientific Dissent – Prominent scientists who raised concerns about vaccine risks were allegedly silenced, limiting public awareness of potential side effects.
The attorneys general have requested that Congress provide them with any relevant findings that could lead to state investigations and potential prosecutions. They reaffirm their commitment to upholding public trust, ensuring transparency, and preventing similar failures in future public health crises.
The attorneys general urge Congressional leaders to continue their investigative efforts and ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable at both federal and state levels.
