Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) expressed confidence that the next attorney general would pursue legal action against individuals responsible for “crimes against humanity” during the COVID-19 pandemic. During a hearing focused on pandemic preparedness, she remarked, “Acknowledging the next pandemic means understanding that the previous one resulted in crimes against humanity.”
She emphasized the need for those who are still perpetuating these alleged crimes to face prosecution, starting with the next administration. Greene added, “I’m certain our next attorney general will take action on this, and I’m looking forward to seeing it reveal.”
President-elect Trump has selected Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for the position, which has raised some eyebrows within his party. Several members have expressed doubts about Gaetz’s confirmation in the Senate.
Earlier this year, Greene called for Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to be tried for crimes against humanity due to his handling of the pandemic. At the hearing, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) stated that Dr. David Morens, Fauci’s former senior adviser, should also face accountability for his actions during the pandemic.
Comer took to social media to highlight concerns about Morens, claiming he remains employed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) despite evidence of misconduct. “Dr. Morens is STILL EMPLOYED by @NIH, even after deleting emails, avoiding FOIA requests, violating policies, and lying to Congress,” Comer posted, tagging Elon Musk.
He further expressed his intent to collaborate with the Trump administration to eliminate unaccountable federal employees. Musk, along with Vivek Ramaswamy, was appointed to lead the newly formed Department of Government Ethics (DOGE). Together, they have pledged to reform federal agencies by filling the department with “small government revolutionaries” committed to restructuring the system.
