Excerpt from above article:

I’ve posted before here on our Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, in which the state of Missouri and Louisiana — along with four private plaintiffs (Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff, the advocacy organization Health Freedom Louisiana, and yours truly) represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance — are suing the Biden Administration for alleged free speech violations. We now have strong evidence that the executive branch of the federal government has been colluding with social media to censor content on social media platforms — including Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram — that questions, challenges, or contradicts the government’s covid policies.

This week, the federal judge in the case granted our request to obtain deposition testimony, under oath, from the following current or former government officials:

NIAID Director and White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci

Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of White House Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty OR former White House Senior COVID-19 Advisory Andrew Slavitt

Former White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan

CISA Director Jen Easterly OR CISA official Lauren Protentis

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy

CDC Chief of the Digital Media Branch Carol Crawford

Acting Coordinator of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center Daniel Kimmage.

It’s worth noting that Fauci (maybe?) responded to his interrogatory written questions, denying that he had any communications with social media platforms. But he also responded in a potentially slippery manner—specifically, he allowed underling Jill Harper to sign off on the NAIAD responses, even though the written questions were addressed by our attorneys to him. The judge refused to take his written-word-by-proxy as sufficient, as the court order describes:

Government Defendants have submitted to Plaintiffs interrogatory responses on behalf of Dr. Fauci, asserting that he has had no direct communications with any social-media platforms regarding censorship. Plaintiffs argue in turn that they should not be required to simply accept those blanket statements as they were submitted, and they argue three reasons why Dr. Fauci should be questioned under oath.

Trust me, if it really comes to this Fauci and any of his cohorts will be "Epstein'ed" before any trial occurs.
