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 GOP leadership for information from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s investigation into the pandemic 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.
It remains unclear if the Attorneys General are looking into any specific state laws for building a case against Fauci. 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.
Biden’s pardon protects Fauci from federal prosecution but does not prevent state law enforcement officers from waging prosecutions against him.
Senator Paul has long contended that Fauci committed perjury multiple times when he claimed that the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, to study coronaviruses with enhanced transmissibility.
The Covid-19 subcommittee was formed last Congress and spent two years looking into the origins of the pandemic and how government officials handled it. The panel’s work ended in December with a lengthy final report on its findings, concluding that Covid-19 most likely came from a lab and the National Institutes of Health failed to properly oversee grants that funded risky bat coronavirus research in Wuhan.
Dr. Fauci was implicated in the report for orchestrating a paper at the start of the pandemic to discredit the lab leak theory of Covid-19’s origin. The stringent lockdowns, social distancing guidelines, and mask mandates Fauci championed lacked scientific basis and failed to control the spread of the virus. Pandemic-era control measures generated significant learning loss for schoolchildren and deeply corrosive physical and mental health effects for American society as a whole.
Fauci later testified to the congressional panel that the lab leak was not a conspiracy theory and admitted that the six-feet social distancing guidelines were not rooted in scientific evidence. He also took pains to distance himself from the implementation of school closures while defending their usage at the start of the pandemic.
President Trump withdrew Fauci’s taxpayer-funded security detail in the first week of his term. Fauci worked in the federal government for decades as a largely obscure senior official before rising to prominence as the public face of the government’s response to Covid-19.
I knew Fauci was a fraud when he said you couldn’t get covid 19-84 while having sex as long as you wore a mask. How long do you think that mask would stay on?
At least one federal judge had reportedly opined that a presidential pardon isn’t valid unless the person who received it has been indicted. Well, Fauci was never indicted. So, AG Bondi can now seek his indictment to test if his pardon is valid.
Keep in mind, this little mass-murdering gnome didn’t act alone. He and Scarf were a tag-team for their handlers. The whole bunch need to do a public rope dance.
Neither was Nixon!
Fauci and Biden would be great cellmates on death row, they deserve each other.
And that's where these fiends should spend their remaining years. Fauci caused the deaths of millions of people, for profit. And his infamous experiments with the helpless beagle puppies. And Biden caused the death of a great many people, to polish his image and enrich himself and his family. Two pieces of human trash we are lucky to be rid of.
Put the screws to Deborah Birx, I bet she has it all documented to save herself.
Bring him in for congressional hearings under perjury and/or FBI interviews about corruption in NIH and USAID by people who were not pardoned.
And then wait for him to lie.
He can’t take the 5th amendment because Biden pardoned him.
I’m cool with prosecuting scarf-lady.
There are many pardons with questtionable validity. Pam Bondi is looking the pardons of the 37 death row inmates.

“I knew Fauci was a fraud when he said you couldn’t get covid 19-84 while having sex as long as you wore a mask.”
What about him preaching social distancing and having churches closed but bars open? And he said it was OK for homos to hook up after meeting on gay dating websites, but couples who had married for 60 years in nursing homes had to have Plexiglass between them.
The cruelty to old people is heartbreaking. Spouses and children were forbidden to visit,and if they were lucky they had to stay outside and look through the window. For months. The lack of personal contact killed people.
Mom and pop stores had to close, but Walmart didn’t.
It was a full-on attack on our country. And the sadistic traitorous Fauci had smooth sailing. Still does.
“Put the screws to Deborah Birx, I bet she has it all documented to save herself.”
She wrote a book in 2022 and although I haven’t read it, it’s been reported that she actually wrote about how she and others lied to, and set up, Trump.
She’s just as guilty as Fauci is re WuFlu. (He’s more guilty when you add his prior bad acts with experiments on animals and orphan children. And wasn’t there something about AIDS — with Pence?)
I’m cool with prosecuting scarf-lady.

Can he take it because of the threat of state prosecution?
Remember what they did to many including Rudy Giuliani just recently. The same should be done to him if they cannot bring him up on charges. Drag this out where he will exhaust all his ill gotten wealth until he is a shell of a man
I hope Pam Bondi nails Birx and Fauci. Trump kept mentioning COVID so I think she will.
Ralph Baric, the professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, whose dangerous government gain of function research was moved to Wuhan, likely ar Fauci’s direction should also be investigated. He may be the actual father of COVID 19.
“Trump kept mentioning COVID so I think she will.”
And besides the basic vax-Fauci-Birx-Covid thing, they made a conscious effort to dupe and humiliate him. I doubt if he’s forgotten that!
