(Missourinet) Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt says he and Louisiana’s attorney general will be deposing Doctor Anthony Fauci tomorrow (Wednesday) as part of a lawsuit both states have filed against the federal government.
Schmitt accuses the Biden Administration of colluding with social media companies to censor free speech on several topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Last month, a federal court granted Missouri and Louisiana’s requests to obtain depositions from top Biden administration officials, including Fauci, who serves as chief medical advisor to the president. Fauci is leaving his post at the end of the year. Schmitt, meanwhile, will soon be leaving the Attorney General post for the U-S Senate.
