Fauci Exposed – by the FBI!

KANGAROO COURT PROSECUTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE ‘HUSH MONEY’
TRIAL

[[link removed]]
It will be nearly impossible for President Trump to receive a fair
trial in a courtroom run by biased, anti-Trump Democratic Party
politicians.

The kangaroo court proceedings in the Manhattan Supreme Court mark the
first-ever criminal trial of a U.S. president. It will go down in
infamy. This is a dangerous attack on the rule of law and a brazen
attempt to rig the 2024 elections for President Biden and Democrats.
Judicial Watch denounces Alvin Bragg’s corrupt attempt to make
former president Donald Trump a political prisoner.

Trump committed no crimes, and this is a prosecution about nothing.
These and other Democratic Party political prosecutions of Trump are
an abomination under law and are destabilizing to our nation.

We will continue to expose in court the truth about these attacks on
the rule of law, free and fair elections, and the U.S. Constitution.

We have several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits related to
the prosecutorial abuse targeting Trump:

In March 2024, we filed a Georgia Open Records Act lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against
District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County, Georgia, for records
of any communication Willis and the county had with Special Counsel
Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. The lawsuit was filed in
the Superior Court of Fulton County after Willis and the county denied
having any responsive records.

In February 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice asked
[[link removed]]
a
federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top
staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that is
targeting former President Donald Trump and other Americans.

(Before his appointment to investigate and prosecute Trump, Special
Counsel Jack Smith previously was at the center of several
controversial issues, the IRS scandal
[[link removed]]
among them. In 2014, a Judicial Watch investigation
[[link removed]]
revealed that top IRS officials had been in communication with Jack
Smith’s then-Public Integrity Section about a plan to launch
criminal investigations into conservative tax-exempt groups. Read more
here
[[link removed]].)

In January 2024, we filed a lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against Fulton County,
Georgia, for records regarding the hiring of Nathan Wade as a special
prosecutor by District Attorney Fani Willis. Wade was hired to pursue
unprecedented criminal investigations and prosecutions against former
President Trump and others over the 2020 election disputes.

In October 2023, we sued
[[link removed]]
the DOJ for records and communications between the Office of U.S.
Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Fulton County, Georgia, District
Attorney’s office regarding requests/receipt of federal
funding/assistance in the investigation of former President Trump and
his 18 codefendants in the Fulton County indictmen
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
of August 14, 2023. To date, the DOJ is refusing to confirm or deny
the existence of records, claiming that to do so would interfere with
enforcement proceedings. Judicial Watch’s litigation challenging
this is continuing.

Through the New York Freedom of Information Law, in July 2023 we
received the engagement letter
[[link removed]]
showing New York County District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg paid $900 per
hour for partners and $500 per hour for associates to the Gibson, Dunn
& Crutcher law firm for the purpose of suing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) in
an effort to shut down the House Judiciary Committee’s oversight
investigation into Bragg’s unprecedented indictment of former
President Donald Trump.

SMOKING GUN FBI RECORDS SHOW THAT FAUCI FUNDED GAIN-OF-FUNCTION
RESEARCH

Your Judicial Watch reported back in July 2022 that the FBI had opened
an inquiry into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s agency work on viruses in China.
Now we’ve learned much more.

We received
[[link removed]
pages
[[link removed]]
of records from the FBI that show an April 2020 email exchange in the
bureau’s Newark Field Office referring to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s
National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases’ (NIAID)
grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China as including
“gain-of-function research” which “would leave no signature of
purposeful human manipulation.”

We obtained the records in response to a May 17, 2023, FOIA request
for emails and text messages of the Newark Field Office, including to
Special Agent David A. Miller, containing the terms “gain of
function,” “GoF,” “R01A|110964,” and/or “EcoHealth.” We
sent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to follow up on
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
the
FBI Newark Field Office’s investigation of the Fauci agency’s
gain-of-function grants after the Covid-19 pandemic began.

On April 23, 2020, an
[[link removed]
exchange
[[link removed]]
with the subject “Follow up call” takes place between several
unnamed Newark Field Office FBI officials. A person whose name is
redacted writes:

> Details of the current NIAID [Fauci’s National Institute of
> Allergies and Infectious Diseases] grant for WIV [Wuhan Institute of
> Virology] bat coronavirus surveillance and WIV bat coronavirus
> gain-of-function research are available at:

[[link removed]
> [summary of NIH grant to EcoHealth Alliance for Project
> 2R01AI110964-06]. The key activity for bat coronavirus surveillance

A colleague replies:

> Hey, are you going to be in office tomorrow? We just interviewed our

The email thread is then forwarded by the Newark Office Assistant
Special Agent in Charge-National Security Branch (ASAC-NSB), whose
name is redacted, to then-special agent in charge of the Newark Field
Office,
[[link removed]
Ehrie
[[link removed]


> This is interesting. I’m following up with the squad tomorrow

Ehrie replies:

> [Redacted] Details when you can.
These smoking gun documents show that the FBI quickly understood that
Fauci’s agency funded the gain-of-function research that could
disguise the resulting coronavirus as “natural.” These new
documents further demonstrate the need for a comprehensive criminal
investigation into Fauci’s gain-of-function scandal.

Our lawsuits and investigations have uncovered much of what the public
knows about many Covid-19 controversies:

* Emails between U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and
top Facebook executives in 2021 regarding the censorship of user posts
about
[[link removed]
controversies
[[link removed]]
showed
Facebook leadership seeking to “better understand the scope of what
the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.”
* Records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) showed that a Pfizer study surveyed 23 people in 2021 to gauge
reactions to its Covid vaccine booster
[[link removed]
asking
the FDA
[[link removed]]
to
approve it.
* Records
[[link removed]]
from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) included the initial
grant application and annual reports to the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) from
[[link removed]
Alliance
[[link removed]],
describing the aim of
its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology to create mutant viruses
“to better predict the capacity of our CoVs [coronaviruses] to
infect people.”
* HHS records included
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
of
then-Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis
Collins showing a British physicians’ group recommended the use of
Ivermectin to prevent and treat Covid-19.
* Heavily redacted HHS
[[link removed]
showed
[[link removed]]
that just two
days prior to FDA approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine a
discussion was held between U.S. and UK health regulators regarding
the Covid shot and “anaphylaxis,” with the regulators emphasizing
their “mutual confidentiality agreement.”
* We obtained
[[link removed]
records
[[link removed]]
regarding data Moderna submitted to the FDA on its mRNA Covid-19
vaccine, which indicated a “statistically significant” number of
rats were born with skeletal deformations after their mothers were
injected with the vaccine. The documents also revealed Moderna elected
not to conduct a number of standard pharmacological studies on the
laboratory test animals.
* Heavily redacted
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
from
the FDA regarding the Covid-19 booster vaccine detailed pressure on
Covid booster use and approval.
* HHS
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
detailed
internal discussions about myocarditis and the Covid vaccine. Other
documents detailed adverse “events for which a contributory effect
of the vaccine could not be excluded.”
* We
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
HHS records
detailing the extensive media plans for a Biden administration
propaganda campaign to push the Covid-19 vaccine.
* HHS records
[[link removed]
previously redacted
[[link removed]]
locations of Covid-19 vaccine testing facilities in Shanghai, China.
The FDA had claimed the name and location of the testing facilities
were protected by the confidential commercial information exemption of
the FOIA.
* NIH records showed an FBI “inquiry” into the
NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan
Institute of Virology. The records also showed National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials were concerned about
“gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of
Virology in 2016. The Fauci agency was also concerned about
[[link removed]
Alliance’s
[[link removed]]
lack of compliance with reporting
rules and use of gain-of-function research in the NIH-funded research
involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
* Texas Public Information Act (PIA) records showed the
former director of the Galveston National Laboratory at the University
of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Dr. James W. Le Duc
[[link removed]],
warned
Chinese researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology of potential
investigations into the Covid issue by Congress.
* HHS records regarding biodistribution studies and
related data for the Covid-19 vaccines showed how a key component of
the vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs),
were
[[link removed]
outside the injection site
[[link removed]],
mainly the liver, adrenal glands, spleen and ovaries of test animals,
eight to 48 hours after injection.
* Records
[[link removed]]
obtained from HHS through a FOIA lawsuit related to hydroxychloroquine
and Covid-19 revealed that a grant to EcoHealth Alliance was canceled
because of press reports that a portion of the grant was given to the
Wuhan Institute of Virology.
* HHS records revealed that from 2014 to 2019,
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
was given to the
Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the NIAID.
* NIAID records showed that it
[[link removed]
nine
China-related grants to EcoHealth Alliance
[[link removed]]
to research
coronavirus emergence in bats and was the NIH’s top issuer of grants
to the Wuhan lab itself. The records also included an email from the
vice director of the Wuhan Lab asking an NIH official for help finding
disinfectants for decontamination of airtight suits and indoor
surfaces.
* HHS records included an “urgent for Dr. Fauci
[[link removed]
email chain,
citing ties between the Wuhan lab and the taxpayer-funded
[[link removed]
Alliance
[[link removed]].
The government emails also
reported that the foundation of U.S. billionaire Bill Gates worked
closely with the Chinese government to pave the way for
Chinese-produced medications to be sold outside China and help
“raise China’s voice of governance by placing representatives from
China on important international counsels as high level commitment
from China.”
* Our
[[link removed]
documentary
[[link removed]]
regarding the coordinated effort by the government and Big Tech to
censor and suppress information on topics such as Hunter Biden’s
laptop, Covid-19, and election debates is available
[[link removed]
[[link removed]].

And, as you can see from this week’s news, more revelations on this
massive scandal are coming!

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FOR DAMAGE ASSESSMENT ON BIDEN’S MISHANDLING OF
DOCUMENTS

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) can conduct
[[link removed]]
“damage assessments” when classified documents are mishandled by
being left in unsecure locations. The agency refuses to provide any
documents to Judicial Watch about whether such an assessment was done
in response to Joe Biden’s unlawful handling of classified
documents.

So we filed a
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
against the ODNI for all records regarding Joe Biden’s improper
removal of classified materials while he was a U.S. Senator or Vice
President and storage of the materials in unclassified settings as
detailed in
[[link removed]
Counsel Robert Hur’s February 5, 2024 report
[[link removed]]
(_Judicial Watch v. Office of the Director of National Intelligence_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:24-cv-01036)).

We sued after the ODNI failed to comply with a February 21, 2024, FOIA
request for damage assessments and equity reviews performed by the
ODNI related to the materials improperly removed by Biden.

In his
[[link removed]
[[link removed]],
Special Counsel Robert Hur reports that the documents were found at
Biden’s home in Delaware and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington,
DC.

The public deserves to know what the intelligence director’s office
concluded about Joe Biden’s unlawful “mishandling” of highly
classified documents.

In March 2024, Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation
(DCNF)
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
the Superior Court of the State of Delaware to reopen their case for
the release of Biden’s Senate records kept at the University of
Delaware in light of the findings of Hur that contradict
representations made under oath by the University of Delaware that no
taxpayer money was used to process Biden’s records. We initially
filed the FOIA
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
against the
University of Delaware for Biden’s Senate records, which are housed
at the university’s library, in July 2020.

Also in March, we
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
the
U.S. Department of Justice for records of all Special Counsel
interviews of President Biden.

In December 2024, we filed a FOIA
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
against
the U.S. Department of Defense for documents regarding a key Biden
staffer allegedly involved in the handling of Biden’s materials
housed at Penn Biden Center.

HEARING IN LAWSUIT FOR RELEASE OF ‘MANIFESTO’ IN NASHVILLE SCHOOL
SHOOTING

Judicial Watch’s legal team was in court this week for
[[link removed]
hearing
[[link removed]]
before Chancellor I’Ashea Myles in the Chancery Court for Davidson
County, 20th Judicial District, in the public records lawsuit against
the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for
records related to the March 2023 shooting at The Covenant School in
Tennessee, including the reported “manifesto” written by the
female shooter.

We filed an open records
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
on behalf of
retired Hamilton County Sheriff James Hammond and the Tennessee
Firearms Association, Inc. (“TFA”) (_Hammond et al. v.
Metropolitan Govt of Nashville et al._
[[link removed]]
(No. 23-0538-III)). The court later consolidated Judicial Watch’s
lawsuit with several others related to release of public records from
The Covenant School shooting.

Petitioner Clata Brewer filed
[[link removed]
motion
[[link removed]]
asking the court for the show cause hearing to finally rule on whether
to release the records and another motion asking the court to unseal
the initial log created by Metropolitan Nashville Police Department
(“MNPD”) describing records and materials in its possession.

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a 28-year-old trans artist,
[[link removed]
killed
[[link removed]]
by police after opening fire on the private Christian elementary
school in Nashville, Tennessee, killing three adults and three
children.

The resolution of the case has been delayed over disputes about
whether the school and school/victims’ parents could intervene and
prevent the release of the “manifesto” and other investigatory
material.

We urge the court to place the public’s right to know above any
political considerations.

John I. Harris III, Esq., of Schulman, LeRoy & Bennett, PC in
Nashville, TN, is assisting us with the lawsuit.

A decision by the court is expected soon.

TEXAS CAPTURES HALF A MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, THOUSANDS OF FELONS

As President Biden enables a border invasion, Texas has stepped up to
stand in the gap, and its successes are dramatic, as our _Corruption
Chronicles_ blog reports
[[link removed]].
