Fauci, Biden officials given 30 days to respond to subpoenas in Big Tech collusion lawsuit
Judge Doughty’s decision means that several top-ranking Biden administration officials, including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Dr. Anthony Fauci and Jean-Pierre, have been given 30 days to respond to subpoenas in the case.
The lawsuit argues that 'the Biden Administration colluded with and pressured social media giants Meta, Twitter, and YouTube to suppress and censor free speech on topics like the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Lab Leak Theory, and more.'
Naming a bevy of Biden officials, including President Joe Biden himself, the lawsuit argues that “the Biden Administration colluded with and pressured social media giants Meta, Twitter, and YouTube to suppress and censor free speech on topics like the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Lab Leak Theory, and more.”
In addition to issuing subpoenas for Fauci and Jean-Pierre, the federal judge authorized discovery requests to be served to the NIAID and CDC, along with Jen Easterly and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Center Square noted.
A request was also served to Nina Jankowicz, who headed the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board before it was paused after extensive backlash.
The court additionally greenlit third-party subpoenas to be served to five social media companies: Twitter, YouTube, Meta, Instagram and LinkedIn.
I think we will see Social Media companies immediately point the finger at Big Government and say….”they made me do it” to save their own ass.
is this gonna be another redacted waste of time?
Thank you AV. It's a brave step, brave judge. When the NYT gets a subpoena too, then I will do a little happy dance. Just a little one.
