Louisiana AG Liz Murrill to investigate Fauci after Fifth Amendment
Key Points:
- Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci following his invocation of the Fifth Amendment 111 times during a Senate hearing, despite his federal pardon from President Joe Biden.
- Murrill stated that Louisiana will join Alabama and Florida in investigating potential state law offenses by Fauci, citing discrepancies between his previous testimony and contemporaneous records.
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville also confirmed investigations, emphasizing that Biden's federal pardon does not protect Fauci from state-level prosecutions.
- Tuberville, a gubernatorial candidate in Alabama, accused Fauci of responsibility for numerous deaths and pledged to pursue accountability through state charges and civil claims if elected governor.
