Foldergate: Fauci's lasting legacy of dodging truth and deceiving America

The New York Times was right to report on Qatar-gifted Air Force One
The Department of Justice has subpoenaed four New York Times journalists for reporting a security matter that required President Trump to fly home on the old Air Force One, not the Qatari-gifted plane, from the NATO summit.
