(WND News Center)—Dr. Anthony Fauci, the front man for Joe Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, in which the China virus likely escaped from a lab working on dangerous diseases and killed millions worldwide, was handed a pardon from federal charges for his actions by Joe Biden.
But he still theoretically could face state charges, and now a coalition of attorneys general is asking Congress whether members can share evidence of those violations.
Fauci used to lead the National institute of for Allergy and Infectious Disease, and was paid an extraordinarily high salary for a government worker. He’s now retired and his pension is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He recently was involved in a scandal for the tens of millions of dollars taxpayers paid for his “security” even after he was a private citizen and not on the government payroll.
A report from the Washington Examiner said 17 state attorneys general now have asked Republican congressional leaders for information on the COVID-19 origins, and more.
“As state attorneys general, we possess the authority to address violations of state law or breaches of public trust,” they told Congress. “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.”
Alan Wilson, South Carolina’s attorney general, organized the letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
They want “information that could outline potential courses of action under state law, should they exist.”
What’s known, from a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report from Congress, is Fauci “prompted leading scientists to discredit the possibility that the virus originated as a result of an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China,” the report said. That’s commonly considered the explanation for the virus now.
There also were allegations that Fauci “misled Congress regarding federal funding of potentially hazardous virtual research at the WIV.”
Biden’s protective order for Fauci applied a pardon to “any offenses which he may have committed or taken part in” beginning in January 2014.
“To say we are troubled by the scope and timing of the pardon – on the heels of the Subcommittee’s Final Report–would be a gross understatement,” the letter from the states explained. “To ensure that former President Biden’s shameful pardon does not frustrate accountability, we urge Congress to consider using all available tools at its disposal.”
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., already has committed to using his work in the Seante to hold Fauci account for any involvement in offenses. Fauci, at one point in the COVID pandemic when he insisted that others accept his version of events, called himself the “science” on the topics at hand.
