Fauci subpoenaed by three Republican AGs for ‘profiting’ from COVID guidance
(LifeSiteNews) — Following two disastrous U.S. Senate hearings in as many weeks and publication of his personal diary, Dr. Anthony Fauci has now been subpoenaed by three Republican state attorneys general seeking to determine whether he personally profited from guidance he issued during the COVID-19 pandemic.
While President Joe Biden gave the COVID kahuna a blanket pardon stretching from 2014 to the final day of his presidency, that pardon protects Fauci only from federal prosecution, leaving him exposed to potential legal actions from states.
On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that his state has teamed up with West Virginia and Louisiana to investigate “awards, professional opportunities, financial incentives, grants, and COVID-19 guidance that impacted Florida businesses and consumers.”
Uthmeier said that Fauci’s diaries “detail substantial awards” connected to the Sunshine State, including a $900,000 Dan David Foundation prize and a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) research grant to the University of Florida Scripps Biomedical Research program.
The Florida AG also cited other troubling ways Fauci may have personally profited from his handling of COVID, such as “offers of named professorships and book deals, board positions, private foundation partnerships, and other professional and financial opportunities concurrent with his federal role and public recommendations impacting Florida.”

“Government officials have a certain level of immunity in their official capacities, but if Fauci personally profited off of the ‘guidance’ he issued, that very well could have broken Florida law,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Fauci’s diary focused more on self-promotion than the legitimate safety concerns from the mRNA vaccines. While Fauci was pushing for book deals, awards, and fortune and fame, Floridians were being deceived and harmed by his misrepresentations.”
“Dr. Fauci’s recent refusal to answer Congress’s questions about his actions during the pandemic is concerning,” said West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey. “The American people deserve to know if they or their elected leaders were misled or manipulated. Both my Office and I support Attorney General Uthmeier’s efforts to uncover the truth.”
“The public deserves answers to about a million questions related to the pandemic, its origins, and the government’s actions in response,” said Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. “What we know already is Fauci lied—we just don’t know yet how much. But he lied about something as basic as keeping a diary. The truth will come out.”
The Florida subpoena commands Fauci to provide documents related to his “self-dealing” from January 3, 2020, until the present by August 31.
Long gone are the days when Fauci was universally hailed by fawning corporate media as “America’s doctor” and as a superhero.
The once self-proclaimed “most famous scientist in the world” who obtained secular sainthood status during the pandemic has faced a sudden reversal of fortune this summer.

In the of Victor Davis Hanson, “The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist but also a pathological schizophrenic.” Fox News host Laura Ingraham alleged that during his time as director of the NIAID from 1984 to 2022, Fauci was “a liar, a megalomaniac, a phony, and a total narcissist all rolled into one.”
During a fiery July 29 Senate Homeland Security Committee (SHSC) hearing chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times as he resisted answering probing questions from GOP senators about his culpability regarding the origins and mishandling of the COVID pandemic.
On Thursday, Republican senators voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer their questions during the SHSC hearing.
