In May, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana on April 5 suing President Joe Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top administration officials for allegedly pressuring and colluding with social media giants with the aim of censoring and suppressing free speech. In July, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that Eric Schmitt, Missouri\u2019s Republican attorney general, announced<\/a> on social media on July 13 that Terry Doughty, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, had ruled in favor of the request for the discovery process. The case is going forward.<\/p>\n

On August 1, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

The subpoenas and discovery requests sent out as part of a lawsuit against the federal government are going to bring back reams of information, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry<\/a> says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, both Republicans, sued the Biden administration in May<\/a>, arguing the government colluded with Big tech companies to violate the constitutional rights of Americans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. District\u00a0Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee,\u00a0recently ruled<\/a>\u00a0in favor of the plaintiffs. Government officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci<\/a> and companies including Facebook were served<\/a> soon after.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a treasure trove of information that we think are going to come to us here shortly,\u201d\u00a0Landry said on EpochTV\u2019s \u201cAmerican Thought Leaders<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe subpoenas have gone out. They\u2019re being served. I think Dr. Fauci got served, and he and other members of the president\u2019s Cabinet, and they\u2019re gonna have to send us communications between them and the platforms. And what we believe we\u2019ll find is communications between them telling them what they should and shouldn\u2019t put out or what they should suppress, and what they should amplify,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Government officials have said they have not acted improperly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Landry said that the government is violating citizens\u2019 rights by pressuring companies to ban or take other punitive action against users. In a separate case, documents released this month<\/a> showed U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials highlighting specific posts in messages to Twitter executives while complaining about alleged misinformation from those users. Whistleblower documents released by two U.S. senators in June<\/a>, meanwhile, showed that U.S. officials had been in touch with Twitter over purported disinformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we found, and what the whistleblowers put out, was that the government was actually engaged, and the White House, in directly communicating with Big Tech<\/a> on stories and information that they either wanted suppressed or put out,\u201d Landry said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s definitely time to get out the popcorn–this lawsuit is going to be very entertaining.<\/p>\n
