President Joe Biden’s administration is seeking to block the depositions of several key officials in a case alleging collusion between Big Tech companies and the government to censor users, but Dr. Anthony Fauci is not one of them.
In a motion for a partial stay on Oct. 27, U.S. lawyers said that plaintiffs shouldn’t be able to depose Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, a Biden appointee; Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly, a Biden appointee; and Rob Flaherty, a deputy assistant to the president.
