Oklahoma Attorney General Sues Federal Government Over 'Emergency Health Powers'

Oklahoma's attorney general is suing the federal government over 'emergency health powers,' it was announced Monday.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond is filing the suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

According to an emailed press release, Drummond's suit alleges that the federal government has exceeded its reach by "unlawfully giving the WHO (World Health Organization) the authority to invoke emergency health powers" in the United States.

"This regulation is an infringement on U.S. and state sovereignty," Drummond said. "It is particularly egregious that the Biden administration would delegate such sovereignty to the World Health Organization in light of the WHO’s many missteps during the pandemic. The WHO’s poor management, lack of accountability and alarming ties to the Chinese communist government render it less than credible. The bottom line is, no country or organization other than the United States government should have the authority to declare a health emergency and invoke the corresponding powers."

This is a developing story.
