Louisiana joins Alabama and Florida in examining Fauci,with potential charges depending on evidence found by their Republican attorneys general. Despite Fauci having a presidential pardon from Joe Biden, state investigations into possible crimes remain active. Louisiana&#8217;s governor, Jeff Landry, welcomed the investigation, and Florida&#8217;s attorney General James Uthmeier expressed skepticism about Fauci&#8217;s candor, stating that his office is seeking the truth. Senator Rand Paul, who questioned Fauci during the hearing, plans to share evidence with Uthmeier. Alabama&#8217;s Republican candidate for governor, Tommy Tuberville, has publicly accused Fauci of responsibility for numerous deaths and vowed to hold him accountable if elected. state officials are scrutinizing Fauci&#8217;s actions and statements related to COVID-19, with ongoing debates over accountability and legal proceedings.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/louisiana\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"529\">Louisiana<\/a> Attorney General Liz Murrill is the latest state official to launch an investigation into <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/anthony-fauci\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1404\">Anthony Fauci<\/a> after he pleaded his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times during a contentious <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"8765\">Senate<\/a> hearing on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic six years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Louisiana joins <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alabama\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1172\">Alabama<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/florida\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"159\">Florida<\/a> in investigating Fauci, who could face charges in those states depending on the evidence uncovered by their Republican attorneys general.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4672150\/louisiana-investigation-fauci-covid-senate-hearing\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Louisiana joins Alabama and Florida in investigating Fauci after contentious Senate hearing<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/4672151\/rfk-jr-cnn-dana-bash-covid-vaccines\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>RFK Jr. rips CNN\u2019s Dana Bash: \u2018All you know how to do is repeat things people told you\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/4671177\/anthony-fauci-covid-19-diary-tv-appearances-mike-pence\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Fauci repeatedly pressed Pence and Trump aides for more TV appearances as fame exploded, diary shows<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFauci lied.
