Senate Panel Says It Has Obtained Copy of Fauci’s Covid-Era Phone

The phone was transferred from the Department of Health and Human Services as lawmakers expand scrutiny of Fauci’s pandemic actions and related records.

  • The Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations obtained a copy of former NIH Director Anthony Fauci's iPhone from the Department of Health and Human Services as part of its COVID-19 probe.
  • Used during his tenure as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the device joins millions of Fauci-related pages retrieved from government servers by Sens. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul.
  • Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times during recent hearings, describing the scrutiny from Paul as an "unhinged obsession" with his pandemic-era actions.
  • Paul's committee will vote Thursday on whether to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer questions, while Republican-led states pursue separate investigations into his actions.
  • This development follows the recent public release of Fauci's journals transferred from HHS to Congress, with officials indicating additional document transfers regarding his tenure are expected.
