Federal District Judge Terry Doughty has overruled the government’s objections to requiring White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci and press secretary Karine Jean Pierre to answer “interrogatories” in the social media censorship lawsuit by Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general.
The First Amendment lawsuit has already revealed close cooperation between social media companies and 50 or more federal officials at dozens of agencies or components, including the White House, to flag and remove purported misinformation about COVID-19, election security, and the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Judge Doughty stated that “the requested information is obviously very relevant” to the collusion allegations, citing Dr. Fauci’s communications related to “alleged suppression of speech relating to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19’s origin, and to alleged suppression of speech about the efficiency of masks and COVID-19 lockdowns.”
The judge said that having the two government officials answer interrogatories is “the only chance Plaintiffs will have to get this information prior to addressing the preliminary injunction.”
