Judge orders Biden admin to turn over Fauci, Jean-Pierre 'misinformation' emails sent to social media giants

A federal judge in Louisiana ordered the Biden administration to turn over all relevant emails sent by the White House press secretary and Dr. Anthony Fauci within 21 days.

A lawsuit was filed in May by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana accusing the Biden administration of suppressing the constitutionally protected right to free speech on elections.

The Justice Department objected to the handing over of the email correspondence under executive privilege.

The White House is consulting with Facebook about misleading information.

The development regarding his lawsuit was announced on the social networking site.

Senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collude with social-media platforms under the Orwellian guise after years of threatening and pressuring social-media platforms.

"As a result of these actions, there has been an unprecedented rise of censorship and suppression of free speech," the lawsuit says. "Precisely legitimate, responsible viewpoints and speakers have been unlawfully and unconstitutionally threatened in the modern public square."

An administration official told Fox News that it has been critical for the American people to have access to factual, accurate, science since the beginning of the administration's battle against COVID-19.

"For example, we worked hard to debunk inaccurate or misleading information about the COVID vaccines that have saved millions of lives and encourage Americans to get vaccine and boosted to stay safe," the Biden administration official said. Democrats and Republicans came together to encourage the public to get a vaccine.

"We believe in and we support freedom of speech, and we also believe it is important for all media platforms to represent factual scientific information and combat misinformation that can cost lives," the official concluded.

Andy Stone, the communications director for Meta, formerly known as Facebook, responded to a request for comment about the ruling on the emails from Jean-Pierre and Fauci.

This is at least the third major news cycle about our work with the CDC to address harmful misinformation about COVID, and the least informative. It was announced in 2020 that we would be doing this.
