Ohio lawmaker says she'll press crimes against humanity charge against Trump over hydroxychloroquin


Ohio lawmaker says she'll press crimes against humanity charge against Trump over hydroxychloroquine promotion
By Zack Budryk - 04/06/20 08:23 AM EDT



Ohio state Rep. Tavia Galonski (D) said that she will make a “referral for crimes against humanity” over President Trump’s promotion of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for novel coronavirus, despite its unproven benefits and lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

“I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been to The Hague. I’m making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow,” Galonski tweeted late Sunday.

“Today’s press conference was the last straw," Galonski added. "I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one.”


Trump has repeatedly promoted hydroxychloroquine, which is approved to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, as a potential treatment for the virus, which the FDA said last week has led to a shortage of the drug.

They do not have the authority to prosecute any US citizen. And with the DOJ in his pocket as well as you can't indict a sitting president, there is nobody to do it.
