A federal judge in Louisiana ruled Tuesday that the Biden
administration has 21 days to turn over all relevant emails sent by
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Dr. Anthony Fauci to
social media platforms regarding alleged misinformation and the
censorship of social media content.
The decision by Judge Terry Doughty, who was appointed by former
President Donald Trump, came as part of a lawsuit filed in May by
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General
Jeff Landry, accusing the Biden administration of suppressing the constitutionally protected right to free speech on elections, the
COVID-19 lab leak theory, coronavirus-related lockdowns and other
issues.
The Justice Department objected to the handing over of the email
correspondence under executive privilege and presidential
communications privilege, but Doughty decided, "This Court believes
Plaintiffs are entitled to external communications by Jean-Pierre and
Dr. Fauci in their capacities as White House Press Secretary and Chief
Medical Advisor to the President to third-party social media
platforms."
