South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson is leading a coalition of state attorneys general to investigate Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 scamdemic.
In a press release from Wilson’s office, the coalition is “demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate.”
“In a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the attorneys general commend ongoing Congressional efforts to uncover misconduct and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws,” the press release continued.
“President Biden’s blanket pardon of Dr. Fauci is a shameful attempt to prevent accountability,” Wilson said.
“If any of these findings indicate violations of state laws, we are fully prepared to take appropriate action to ensure justice is served,” he added.

Per Wilson’s office:
The letter follows the release of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s final report, which details widespread failures and potential misconduct by high-ranking government officials, including Dr. Fauci. The report highlights misleading public statements regarding COVID-19’s origins, mismanagement of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, and efforts to suppress scientific discussions about vaccine risks.
ADVERTISEMENTDespite these findings, former President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for Dr. Fauci, shielding him from federal prosecution for any offenses committed during his tenure. However, the attorneys general assert that this federal pardon does not prevent state-level legal action.
The attorneys general have requested that Congress provide them with any relevant findings that could lead to state investigations and potential prosecutions. They reaffirm their commitment to upholding public trust, ensuring transparency, and preventing similar failures in future public health crises.

From The Post Millennial:
The request to Congress follows the December release of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s final report, which detailed failures by government officials, including Fauci. The report addressed issues such as the origins of the virus, suppression of scientific dissent, misleading testimony to Congress regarding National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, and other concerns.
While Biden’s pardon protects Fauci from federal prosecution, it does not prevent states from pursuing legal action. A statement from Wilson’s office reiterated the commitment to holding officials accountable.
