Anthony Fauci will testify publicly for the first time since his retirement. “Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) announced that Dr. Anthony Fauci will testify publicly for the first time since retiring from public service at a hearing before the Select Subcommittee on June 3‚ 2024‚” the House Oversight Committee stated in a press release. “Earlier this year‚ Dr. Fauci appeared in front of the Select Subcommittee for a closed-door‚ two-day‚ 14-hour transcribed interview‚” the press release continued. “Retirement from public service does not excuse Dr. Fauci from accountability to the American people. On June 3‚ Americans will have an opportunity to hear directly from Dr. Fauci about his role in overseeing our nation’s pandemic response‚ shaping pandemic-era polices‚ and promoting singular questionable narratives about the origins of COVID-19‚” Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) said.

We also learned that he believes the lab leak hypothesis he publicly downplayed should not be dismissed as a conspiracy theory. As the face of America’s public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic‚ these statements raise serious questions that warrant public scrutiny. “The Select Subcommittee will also hold a public hearing with EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak on May 1‚ 2024‚ that will serve as a crucial component of our investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and provide essential background ahead of Dr. Fauci’s public hearing. We look forward to both Dr. Fauci’s and Dr. Daszak’s forthcoming and honest testimonies‚ and appreciate their willingness to voluntarily appear before the Select Subcommittee for public hearings.” “Fauci’s testimony will come in the wake of BOMBSHELL new emails from EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak and Fauci aide that expose the Covid gain-of-function cover-up. Daszak’s email noted that the Wuhan lab was in possession of ‘more than 15‚000 samples’ of coronaviruses prior to the Covid pandemic. EcoHealth Alliance was a cut-out group for the Pentagon and National Institutes of Health to fund risky and illegal gain-of-function research at the Wuhan laboratory in China‚” Kyle Becker wrote. “Fauci is on the record discrediting the manmade theory of SARS-CoV-2 publicly while working behind the scenes to suppress scientific dissent that the theory was plausible. The NIAID chief eventually pushed scientists at Science magazine to call it a “conspiracy theory” while pushing the bat/wet market theory. The Department of Energy and FBI have published reports supporting the view that it is likely that Covid was a ‘manmade’ virus. Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina developed the exact blueprint (RNA sequencing‚ furin cleavage site) for making SARS-CoV-2 prior to the virus being discovered near the Wuhan lab in China‚” he continued.

A former senior adviser to Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was recently found by the House COVID-19 panel to have shared “confidential” communications with EcoHealth Alliance about how the agency‚ and Fauci‚ were preparing to respond to accusations that they funded risky gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses in Wuhan. Fauci sat for a 14-hour-long transcribed interview with the House panel in January‚ during which he admitted to signing off on NIAID grants without personally reviewing the project proposals and acknowledged that the hypothesis that COVID-19 leaked out of a Chinese lab was not a conspiracy theory. His answers related to social distancing guidelines and vaccine mandates imposed on Americans during the pandemic also raised concerns among some lawmakers on the panel.

According to the New York Post‚ a Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris fought with several other agents earlier this week. “A Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris was hospitalized after exhibiting distressing behavior‚ including spouting gibberish‚ speaking incoherently‚ and physically provoking another officer. Authorities said Harris was not present when the incident occurred‚” Rawsalerts wrote. #BREAKING: A Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris was hospitalized after exhibiting distressing behavior‚ including spouting gibberish‚ speaking incoherently‚ and physically provoking another officer. authorities said Harris was not present when the incident occurred pic.twitter.com/FlLE4XOpcD — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) April 25‚ 2024 From the New York Post: The altercation took place around 9 a.m. near Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of Washington DC‚ prior to Harris’ arrival on the scene. The agent in question‚ whose identity has not been revealed‚ was immediately “removed from their assignment‚” the Secret Service told The Post. “A US Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing‚” Anthony Guglielmi‚ chief of communications for the US Secret Service‚ said to The Post. “The US Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously.” Medical personnel were called onto the scene‚ per Guglielmi. That agent had been at Joint Base Andrews to support Harris’ planned departure‚ but ultimately the scuffle did not delay her travel.

The incident occurred at Andrews AFB‚ shortly before Harris arrived. https://t.co/dVr2vp1ovn — Tom Rogan (@TomRtweets) April 24‚ 2024 The Washington Examiner reports: All Secret Service agents are armed while on domestic protective duty. But as with their Diplomatic Security Service counterparts‚ agents assigned to protective details endure heavy travel burdens‚ often working long hours away from home. The psychological health of armed agents serving in very close proximity to high-ranking government officials and foreign heads of state is thus a high-priority concern for the Secret Service. Moreover‚ the Vice Presidential Protective Division is widely regarded within the Secret Service as the second most prestigious assignment after the Presidential Protective Division. Because of the continuity of government protocols‚ VPD agents are party to exceptionally sensitive planning on responses to nuclear war and catastrophic terrorist attacks or environmental disasters. Agents must serve in field offices for a minimum of three years and receive excellent performance reports before going to VPD. They must also then pass the intensive Protective Detail Training course at the Secret Service’s James J. Rowley training facility in the DC suburbs. The Washington Examiner is unaware of the agent’s current status. The Vice President’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

So sad. From Politico‚ here are some of the breaking details: An Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election — including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn. The indictment‚ which includes felony counts of conspiracy‚ fraud and forgery‚ also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator. “Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona’s voters‚” the 58-page indictment reads. The names of seven of the defendants‚ including Meadows‚ Giuliani and Epshteyn‚ are redacted‚ but the document makes clear who they are by describing their roles. Others include attorneys John Eastman‚ Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb‚ as well as Trump 2020 campaign operative Mike Roman. Ken Chesebro‚ an attorney who helped devise Trump’s post-election strategy‚ is described as “unindicted coconspirator 4.” The only defendants whose names are visible in the version of the indictment released by the Arizona attorney general’s office Wednesday evening are the 11 Republicans who falsely posed as the state’s presidential electors despite Joe Biden’s narrow victory there. Among them: former Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward‚ state senators Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern‚ and Arizona’s RNC committeeman Tyler Bowyer. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes‚ a Democrat‚ has been helming the aggressive investigation. Though she initially appeared to be focused primarily on the false electors‚ in recent months it became clear that the scope of the probe was broader than previously understood and swept up prominent Trump allies at the national level. Mayes is the fifth prosecutor to bring criminal charges over the sprawling‚ multi-state bid by Trump and his allies to upend the 2020 results. Special counsel Jack Smith has charged Trump with federal crimes for those efforts. Prosecutors in Georgia have charged Trump and many of his allies for their efforts to overturn the results in that state‚ including the fake electors plot. Prosecutors in Michigan and Nevada have also charged Republicans who posed as fake electors in those states. The announcement felt like something right out of 1984 or out of a Communist Regime. Watch this if you can stomach it: #BREAKING– Mark Meadows‚ Rudy Giuliani‚ and Jenna Ellis among 18 people have been charged in an Arizona election interference probe pic.twitter.com/ypl2gAFnp9 — Diligent Denizen (@DiligentDenizen) April 24‚ 2024 Grok reports: The full list of the 18 individuals indicted in the Arizona election probe includes: Kelli Ward Tyler Bowyer Nancy Cottle Jacob Hoffman Anthony Kern James Lamon Robert Montgomery Samuel Moorhead Lorraine Pellegrino Greg Safsten Michael Ward Mark Meadows Rudy Giuliani Boris Epshteyn Jenna Ellis Christina Bobb John Eastman Mike Roman From CNN: The indictment in Arizona includes nine counts‚ from conspiracy and forgery to engaging in fraudulent schemes. Because the indictment remains partially redacted‚ it is unclear what charges Trump allies such as Meadows‚ Epshteyn and Giuliani face. “In Arizona‚ and the United States‚ the people elected Joseph Biden as President on November 3‚ 2020‚” the indictment reads. “Unwilling to accept this fact‚ Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona’s voters.” The scheme‚ according to the indictment‚ called for the fake electors to fraudulently vote for Trump‚ “falsely claiming to be the duly elected and qualified Electors for President and Vice President of the United States from the State of Arizona.” “Defendants deceived the citizens of Arizona by falsely claiming that those votes were contingent only on a legal challenge that would change the outcome of the election‚” the indictment continues. “In reality‚ Defendants intended that their false votes for Trump-Pence would encourage Pence to reject the Biden-Harris votes on January 6‚ 2021‚ regardless of the outcome of the legal challenge.” This scheme failed on January 6‚ 2021‚ when then-Vice President Mike Pence accepted the electoral votes for Joe Biden‚ the indictment says. CNN is reaching out to those charged for comment. The case adds scrutiny to actions taken on Trump’s behalf after the last election. It also comes as Trump’s legal team will argue before the Supreme Court Thursday that he’s immune from prosecution in the federal election interference case – at the same time Trump is on trial in New York related to hush money paid to cover up an alleged affair before the 2016 election. The Arizona case is the latest state-level prosecution aimed at schemes to upend Biden’s electoral victory. Prosecutors in Michigan‚ Georgia and Nevada also have brought criminal charges against some of the people who signed on as fake electors in those states. Investigators in Wisconsin are conducting a similar probe. A grand jury empaneled in Maricopa County‚ Arizona‚ to investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state met this week before Mayes announced the charges. CNN previously reported that Arizona prosecutors had issued a series of grand jury subpoenas to people connected to Trump’s campaign and several individuals who served as fake electors from that state – a sign the probe was accelerating ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Some of the fake electors who were ultimately charged in Arizona recently appeared before the grand jury and cited their Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination‚ sources familiar with the probe told CNN. Mayes initially focused her investigation on the 11 fake electors from Arizona and those who helped organize them‚ but the sources recently told CNN she also was looking into individuals tied to the former president’s national campaign. “We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electoral scheme in our state‚” Mayes said Wednesday. “I understand for some of you today didn’t come fast enough. And I know I’ll be criticized by others for conducting this investigation at all. But as I’ve stated before‚ and will say here again today‚ I will not allow American democracy to be undermined.” Several state-level officials from Arizona told the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6‚ 2021‚ US Capitol riot that Trump and his allies tried to pressure them to decertify the state’s election results. This is a developing story. We’ll continue to monitor and bring you updates as we have them.
