Attorney General Steve Marshall has joined a coalition of state attorneys general in demanding accountability for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a letter to congressional leadership, the attorneys general emphasize their commitment to investigating potential violations of state laws and ensuring that former President Biden’s sweeping pardon does not shield Fauci from consequences at the state level.

The letter, sent to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, commends the work of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in exposing fraud, waste, and abuse related to the federal response to COVID-19. The subcommittee’s findings suggest that Dr. Fauci and other high-ranking officials engaged in misconduct, including misleading the public about COVID-19’s origins, misrepresenting National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for gain-of-function research in Wuhan, and suppressing scientific debate on pandemic policies and vaccine risks.
