Florida Attorney General Launches Investigation Into Fauci

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said the probe seeks answers after Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment multiple times before senators.

  • On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced his office is opening an investigation into Anthony Fauci, citing the former health official's "lack of candor to Congress."
  • The investigation follows a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing where Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times, while Sen. Rand Paul released over 1,000 pages of his diary.
  • Florida Republicans, including Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott, criticized Fauci's pandemic handling. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna urged state officials to pursue charges, arguing that federal pardons do not shield Fauci from state-level prosecution.
  • Sen. Paul stated he will hold a vote next week on whether to declare Fauci in contempt of Congress, while Fauci maintained silence on legal advice fearing prosecution.
  • Although President Joe Biden granted Fauci an unconditional pardon in January 2025 for federal offenses, Uthmeier and other state officials maintain this does not prevent state-level investigations, leaving the pardon's scope a central legal question.
