During a committee hearing, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) asked Biden\u2019s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, whether he would rescind the DOJ memo, but Garland refused.<\/p>\n<p>New Information<\/p>\n<p>According to the newly-uncovered email from early October, the NSBA\u2019s Secretary-Treasurer said their interim CEO told officers he was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, following a request by Education Secretary Cardona.<\/p>\n<p>These emails were obtained by the parents group Parents Defending Education in a Freedom of Information Act request.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nicole Neily, president and founder of the group, pointed out that the original timeline given was that the NSBA sent a letter which was used to mobilize the FBI and other federal law enforcement against protesting parents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, if Secretary Cardona was as involved as he appears to be, the crusade against parents may have originated from within the Biden administration. This would, as she put it, be a \u201csignificant breach of public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328558\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Shawn-THEW-POOL-AFP-SHAWN-THEW-Contributor-via-Getty-Images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Shawn-THEW-POOL-AFP-SHAWN-THEW-Contributor-via-Getty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Shawn-THEW-POOL-AFP-SHAWN-THEW-Contributor-via-Getty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-328558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shawn THEW \/ POOL \/ AFP \/ SHAWN THEW \/ Contributor via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Fauci Testifies Before The Senate<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Topline: Top U.S. health officials testified before the Senate on Tuesday amid criticism that their messaging has been confusing and contradictory.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fauci-paul-clash-accusations-alleged-takedown-disagreeing-scientists\">Quote Of The Day:<\/a> \u201cDr. Fauci, the idea that a government official like yourself would claim unilaterally to represent science, that any criticism of you would be considered a criticism of science itself, is quite dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)<\/p>\n<p>The Hearing<\/p>\n<p>The Senate health committee heard from Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and the acting FDA commissioner in a hearing that became heated at several points. Senators asked the officials questions regarding the Biden administration\u2019s handling of Omicron.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing was called in part to get an update on some of the issues in the Biden administration\u2019s pandemic response, such as the nationwide COVID test shortage over the holiday travel season as infections were rising. The Biden administration is promising millions of new at-home tests, but contracts with a manufacturer were not signed until last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Back-And-Forth<\/p>\n<p>Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) rebuked Fauci for claiming to represent \u201cscience itself,\u201d and cited emails which he says prove Fauci conspired with a colleague to destroy the reputations of scientists with dissenting opinions, including three prominent epidemiologists at Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fauci fired back that Paul was \u201cdistorting everything about me,\u201d before accusing him of making personal attacks against him for political purposes instead of focusing on how to tackle the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) also pressed Fauci on gain of function grants, demanding he go on the record with all related documents. After their exchange, Fauci was heard on a hot mic referring to Senator Marshall as \u201ca moron.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fauci also said that there\u2019s an urgent need for a super vaccine, presumably a new COVID vaccine which would be effective against all variants of the virus.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328559\" class=\"size-full wp-image-328559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Ray-ChavezMediaNews-GroupThe-Mercury-NewsContributor-via-Getty-Images-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Ray-ChavezMediaNews-GroupThe-Mercury-NewsContributor-via-Getty-Images-.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/01\/Ray-ChavezMediaNews-GroupThe-Mercury-NewsContributor-via-Getty-Images--300x169.jpeg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-328559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ray Chavez\/MediaNews Group\/The Mercury News\/Contributor via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Newsom Proposes Healthcare For Illegal Immigrants<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Topline: Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom is proposing a plan for the state to provide healthcare coverage for everyone residing in the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xL5ok0EyPa4&amp;ab_channel=CaliforniaGovernorGavinNewsom\">Quote Of The Day:<\/a> \u201dCalifornia is poised to be, if this proposal is supported, the first state in the country to achieve universal access to health coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA)<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s Proposal<\/p>\n<p>Governor Gavin Newsom proposed an expansion of Medi-Cal, California\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Wednesday, January 12th and this is your Morning Wire.
