A legal deposition has revealed that Anthony Fauci’s daughter had worked as a software engineer for Twitter in 2020.

The truth was revealed in a 359-page transcript of an interview released by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt. The interview was a part of the ongoing case in regards to censorship by social media.

Fauci was asked whether or not he knows anyone who works at any social media platform. In response, he said that his daughter used to work at Twitter as a software engineer.

Additionally, it was revealed that the doctor has had at least three conversations over FaceTime with Mark Zuckerberg about pushing COVID-19 vaccinations.

The deposition is part of a lawsuit filed by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. Landry is alleging that key Biden players “colluded with and or coerced social media companies to suppress free speech.”

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is opposing Democrat plans to add provisions on marijuana and a permitting reform to the annual defense bill.

When speaking on the Senate floor on Tuesday, McConnell (R-Ky.) referred to the National Defense Authorization Act. He claimed that Democrats are trying to add partisan projects instead of putting the U.S. military first.

“House and Senate Democrats are still obstructing efforts to close out the NDAA by trying to jam in unrelated items with no relationship whatsoever to defense,” he said.

This comes after Democrats proposed allowing banks to do business with marijuana businesses, while Republicans want a provision to cancel the vaccine mandate in the military. McConnell stressed that Democrats are more interested in promoting drugs than national defense.  

“We’re talking about a grab bag of miscellaneous pet priorities, like making our financial system more sympathetic to illegal drugs or permitting reform in name only that’s already failed to pass the Senate earlier this year,” McConnell said.

McConnell pointed out that Democrats are holding America’s armed forces hostage over their far-left agenda, which also reveals poor planning by Senate Democrat leadership.
