Louisiana<\/a> Attorney General Liz Murrill said Saturday that her office will investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci, days after the former top health official invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a contentious Senate hearing.<\/p>\n

Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing and declined to answer lawmakers’ questions.<\/p>\n

Murrill shared a Fox News Digital story on X noting that, despite receiving a federal pardon from former President Joe Biden, Fauci could still potentially face prosecution under state law.<\/p>\n

“Fauci lied,” Murrill wrote. “Louisiana and Missouri deposed Dr. Fauci<\/a>. At the time, he claimed to not recall many key details of his own actions and now we are discovering contemporaneous records he kept.”<\/p>\n

“Louisiana will join Alabama & Florida in investigating Fauci<\/a> and whether he committed any other offenses that could be pursued in our State courts,” she added.<\/p>\n

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry also weighed in, writing on X, “As someone who was Attorney General alongside Eric Schmitt, and deposed Dr. Fauci, I am happy to have Louisiana join Alabama<\/a> and Florida!”<\/p>\n

Louisiana is the latest state to announce an investigation<\/a> into Fauci.<\/p>\n

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Thursday that his office would investigate Fauci following the Senate hearing<\/a>. Uthmeier previously told Fox News Digital that “any and all potential violations of Florida law” are under review.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., also told Fox News Digital that Fauci’s federal pardon does not shield him from potential state prosecutions because presidential pardons apply only to “offenses against the United States.”<\/p>\n

“Anthony Fauci is responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans and tens of thousands of Alabamians,” Tuberville said. “The ‘pardon’ signed by Joe Biden’s autopen doesn’t apply to state-level crimes.”<\/p>\n

Tuberville, who is running for Alabama governor, said that if elected he would explore ways to pursue state charges against Fauci while encouraging Alabamians to pursue civil claims.<\/p>\n

“When I’m governor of Alabama, I will look into ways we can hold Fauci accountable for all of the Alabamians who died under his watch.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Fauci’s attorney for comment.<\/p>\n
