This is movement in his lawsuit against top-ranking Biden Administration officials for allegedly colluding to suppress free speech.
The list of granted depositions includes Anthony Fauci, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Director of White House Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan.
The original lawsuit was filed by Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on May 5, 2022.
Missouri and Louisiana filed a Motion for Expedited Preliminary Injunction-Related Discovery on June 17, 2022, allowing both states to gather discovery and documents from Biden Administration officials and social media companies.
“After finding documentation of a collusive relationship between the Biden Administration and social media companies to censor free speech, we immediately filed a motion to get these officials under oath,” said Schmitt.
“It is high time we shine a light on this censorship enterprise and force these officials to come clean to the American people, and this ruling will allow us to do just that. We’ll keep pressing for the truth.”
