Acting Attorney General John Guard has joined a coalition of state attorneys general in an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic response.

The coalition, led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, says it is demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements and suppression of scientific debate.

In a February 5 letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the group of Republican attorneys general commend ongoing Congressional efforts to uncover misconduct and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws.
