Louisiana AG Liz Murrill said her office will investigate Fauci.
She is joining Alabama and Florida in looking at possible state law violations.
Announcement came days after a Senate hearing led by Sen. Rand Paul.

Newly released personal diary entries and work records contradict those memory claims.
Biden’s preemptive pardon covers only federal crimes, not state ones.
Florida AG James Uthmeier launched his probe right after the hearing.
Alabama officials, including Sen. Tommy Tuberville, have also signaled interest in state-level action.
