EXCERPT:

A Senate committee voted to hold former White House Covid czar Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress on Thursday following his refusal to answer for his Covid lies and conduct throughout the lockdown period.

“Holding a witness in contempt is a serious thing, and it should be rare,” Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chair Rand Paul, R-Ky., said at the hearing. “But the contempt power exists for precisely this circumstance.”

The committee’s 8-5 vote came along party lines, with all Democrats voting in opposition. Democrats moved to table the vote on the contempt resolution and “then suggested giving Fauci immunity to [Department of Justice] prosecution to come in and testify, but their motions failed,” according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin.

When appearing before the committee last week, Fauci plead the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times to avoid answering questions from lawmakers about his lies to the public and conduct throughout the viral outbreak. This included dodging queries about his role in funding gain-of-function research in China; downplaying the credible lab leak theory; ignoring the Covid shots’ risks and potential treatments; and more.

According to the official data, more than 1.2 million Americans have died with COVID-19, either recorded as a cause or a contributing factor during the pandemic and the emergency period that has stretched across years of lockdowns, mandates, school closures, and cultural upheaval.

Anthony Fauci denied the public the truth and transparency our nation deserved about the origins of COVID. And he changed his messaging on masks and social distancing and became the public face of a response that shattered public trust across the country. As many have already said in plain language: “Fauci lied, and people died.”

Just this last week, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released more than 1,000 pages of Anthony Fauci’s private diary* — handwritten notes stretching from late 2019 through 2022. Days later, Fauci walked into a Senate hearing and, on the advice of his lawyers, refused to answer any question, including what day of the week it was, what color the carpet was, or what color of tie he was wearing. He also refused to answer substantive questions about COVID’s origins, gain-of-function research, or his previous testimonies.

That hearing came after Joe Biden’s sweeping preemptive pardon that covered potential federal offenses tied to Fauci’s government work from 2014 all the way through January 2025. A pardon, Republicans argued, undercut his claim that truthful answers could still incriminate him. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., argued at the hearing that a witness who has already received such broad protection and a pardon cannot keep hiding behind the Fifth Amendment for past or current conduct, while Rand Paul said the only remaining risk would come if he, in fact, lied while under oath at this hearing.

EXCERPT:

Anthony Fauci’s lawyer claims the Senate panel decision to hold the former White House chief medical adviser in contempt of Congress is nothing more than a “crude political stunt.”

In a statement following the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s 8-5 vote to hold Fauci in contempt, Fauci’s lawyer David Schertler said, “Today’s partisan committee vote is a crude political stunt intended to punish Dr. Fauci for exercising his constitutional rights.

“The Senate should reject Senator Paul’s meritless and politically motivated contempt resolution,” he added.

Paul, chairman of the committee, explained that it would have been very simple for Fauci to simply answer questions during the hearing rather than plead the Fifth more than 100 times. All Fauci had to do, the senator emphasized, was tell the truth.

“A million Americans died, and I think they deserved to know truth. Anthony Fauci has advocated for dangerous gain of function research for two decades now. The question ‘why’ is not a question that he can have liability for,” Paul told reporters. “He was given a pardon. Interestingly, the pardon starts in 2014. That’s when the funding of the lab in Wuhan started.”

Fauci Held in Contempt, Gets DOJ Criminal Referral

pgnewser August 7, 2026 0

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been held in contempt by a Senate Committee led by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). Senator Paul is also personally filing papers recommending the DOJ file criminal charges against the doctor. Paul stated, “We will hand deliver it today to the attorney general and we will hand deliver it today to the District of Columbia, to the U.S. attorney there, and from there, we’ll find out. But this way we don’t sit a month waiting to determine whether to bring it to the Senate floor.”

EXCERPT:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), the chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, says he will directly refer the committee-approved resolution to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt to the Department of Justice, but he has not ruled out bringing it before the full Senate. This unusual move to send the referral directly to the Justice Department without it first going before the Senate could undercut prosecutors’ ability to bring charges against Dr. Fauci and would likely start a court battle over the limits of witnesses’ Fifth Amendment rights. “We will hand deliver it today to the attorney general and we will hand deliver it today to the District of Columbia, to the U.S. attorney there, and from there, we’ll find out. But this way we don’t sit a month waiting to determine whether to bring it to the Senate floor,” he says

The diary of Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), might be the best thing to happen to us filthy, unvaxxed, granny-killing conspiracy wackadoos who took grenades from weak, terror-stricken Democrats during the COVID era.

FACT-O-RAMA!  A Rasmussen poll from January 2022 showed that roughly 59% of Democrats wanted the unvaxxed confined to their homes at all times (except for emergencies), 58% wanted fines and imprisonment for those who questioned the efficacy of the COVID “vaccine,” and 45% of wanted the unvaxxed sent to a “COVID camp.”

In the days since “the Fauch’s” diary was released, We the People have learned what many of us have already kinda, sorta known: Fauci is an evil, lying Keebler elf of death who wrought unspeakable peccancies on the world for fame and fortune, and every day brings another pack of lies Fauci told the world to keep those good times rolling.

EXCERPT:

The Counterlawfare Institute obtained a previously undisclosed June 8, 2025, memo laying out a blueprint for the Department of Justice to investigate Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health’s contributions toward the influential “Proximal Origin” scientific paper that argued the Covid-19 virus originated from nature, not a lab.

The memorandum was written by Michael Caputo, a former senior Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) official who later served as an adviser in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, and addressed to Ed Martin, then director of the Department of Justice’s Weaponization Working Group. It later emerged that Caputo was under secret federal surveillance at the time.

In the memo, Caputo encourages the DOJ to investigate whether federal officials misled U.S. intelligence and directed millions of taxpayer dollars to scientists who “falsely distracted the public from government misconduct that lead to massive illness and deaths worldwide.”

Sure, the media reactions from the usual outlets were expected to be wild, but they’re not resonating. Too many Americans have endured the indignity of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s COVID regime, which was based on science fiction, fueled by politics, and ended up causing undue misery and pain for countless American families. Children’s reading and math scores may never recover. The number of businesses wiped out was unimaginable, and this Fauci guy had federal workers chasing cash prizes for him. We’re done with the masking and vaccine talking points that changed and became contradictory, but we want this guy grilled and held accountable.

For some, what happened Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was a brazen attack on a patriot, ‘America’s doctor,’ likening it to McCarthyism. I’m not kidding. TMZ had a total meltdown over the hearing, saying it was a disgusting swipe at a man who saved lives. Yeah, many of those people died alone, and even more couldn’t say goodbye. It’s madness.

News Source
EXCERPT:

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer dozens of questions from senators in a Republican-led committee hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision, at least for now, shielded Fauci from answering questions that could expose him to accusations of lying under oath. Though he received a pardon in early 2025 from Democratic President Joe Biden, some Republicans pursuing a yearslong campaign for his arrest had suggested he could still face charges for any perjury committed during Wednesday’s hearing.

The scientist, who helped lead the nation’s COVID-19 response, was subpoenaed to testify under oath by Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has long had an antagonistic relationship with Fauci.

In response to angry, sometimes mocking questions from Republican senators, Fauci declined to answer more than 100 times, injecting new drama into partisan divides that have festered for years about the origins and handling of the pandemic. Fauci himself has become a polarizing figure, even receiving death threats that prompted him to seek security.

In his opening statement, Fauci said Paul has an “obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution.”

“The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars,'” Fauci said, adding that while it pained him to do so, he was following his attorney’s advice by taking the Fifth.

EXCERPT:

Former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci suffered a pulmonary infarction in June 2021—five months after he received his first COVID shot, his newly released diary reveals.

A pulmonary infarction occurs when part of the lung tissue dies because blood flow through the pulmonary arteries is blocked, usually by a blood clot originating from a deep vein thrombosis, that travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

This information was made public for the first time through the release of Fauci’s private diary entries.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released Fauci’s private diary entries over the weekend, allowing the public to scrutinize his day-to-day activities during the early days of the COVID-19 crisis. The bombshell diary entries reveal his arrogance, duplicity and preoccupation with fame and adoration as infections rose.

During an appearance on Fox New’s “Ingraham Angle” Monday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. commented on the new revelation about Fauci’s June 2021 medical emergency.

“[Fauci] got vaccinated at a very, very public press conference in January of 2020 and then five months later…he had a pulmonary infarction—which is one of the adverse events NIH, CDC and FDA said are expected from the vaccine. He never told anybody,” Kennedy told host Laura Ingraham. “He got treated for it privately by the best doctors in America at the same time he was telling everybody that that was not an adverse event,” the HHS Secretary added.

Before Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment at a Senate hearing after the release of his diaries from the pandemic, Wednesday’s Morning Joe gave a preview of the hearing where 8 AM host Jonathan Lemire defended Fauci and called much of it “taken out of context.”

Lemire also minimized the possible Chinese lab origins of COVID-19 and possible U.S. funding of gain-of-function labs, which he called “unproven.”

Just as the Senate hearing was set to begin, Lemire introduced the hearing as “Fauci is expected to face some tough questions about the origins of COVID-19 and the federal government’s response to the virus.”

The MS NOW host then detailed released pages of Fauci’s diary and focused on his talk of a “newfound celebrity status”:

This comes just days after Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)released more than 1000 pages of Fauci’s diary entries from the early months of the pandemic. In some of the entries, Fauci does reveal how much he enjoyed his newfound celebrity status, calling it “flattering.” (…)

On Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released a trove of diary entries from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the 85-year-old immunologist and public health veteran who led the US response to the Covid pandemic in 2020. On X, Paul posted an AI-generated image of a grinning, pastel-sweater-clad Anthony Fauci lying on his stomach on a purple shag carpet, poring over a unicorn-themed diary and surrounded by teen girl accoutrements. Paul explained to his 5.9 million followers that the image was “What Anthony Fauci looked like every night when he wrote about how great he is in his diary.”

The diary entries contain plenty of cringeworthy moments—Fauci congratulating himself on how famous he had become, for example, and basking in the attention of female celebrities like Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand. What they don’t contain—much to the dismay of Paul and Fauci’s other critics—is any kind of smoking gun proving that the public health leader deliberately misled the American people.

Undeterred, Covid truthers have only amped up their efforts to prove that Fauci lied—and they’re spinning up conspiracy theories about crucial information they say is missing from the diary.

EXCERPT:

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci bears direct responsibility for approving taxpayer funding of experiments at the University of Pittsburgh that grafted scalps from aborted babies onto the backs of laboratory rats, pro-life investigators charged Tuesday.

The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2020, used full-thickness skin from the scalps of babies aborted at 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy—roughly five months gestation—to create “humanized” mice and rats for studying the human immune system. Photographs accompanying the study show the grafted tissue growing tufts of fine baby hair on the animals.

Federal records confirm that Fauci’s NIAID provided approximately $430,000 in grants to the University of Pittsburgh researchers in 2018 and 2019 for the project. Additional NIH support was also listed.

Since Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released on Saturday nearly 2,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diaries that delivered one bombshell after another about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic, ABC and NBC had yet to say a word on the leading morning or evening shows. However, that changed Wednesday morning with stories explaining away his behavior ahead of what became an explosive Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.

ABC’s Good Morning America only mustered a partial segment tallying 89 seconds, starting with co-host Robin Roberts announcing Fauci was “set to testify on Capitol Hill” for “a grilling by longtime critic Senator Rand Paul over his role in handling the COVID pandemic.”

D.C.-based correspondent Jay O’Brien also said it’d “be a fiery hearing” with Paul going after “Fauci, 85-years-old, once the nation’s top infectious disease expert who retired in 2022.”

He added Paul has “accused Fauci of everything from misleading the COVID — mishandling the COVID response, to misleading the public about COVID’s origins, to even lying to Congress, all of which Fauci strenuously denies” with his attorney calling Paul’s behavior a “years-long public crusade.”

Incredibly, O’Brien seemed to cast doubt on the veracity of the diaries: “Ahead of this hearing, Paul releasing more than one thousand pages worth of what he says are diary excerpts that Fauci wrote in the early days of the pandemic.”

Fauci’s Diaries Exposed

The architect of the Covid-19 shutdown strategy, Dr. Anthony Fauci, is under more scrutiny as his diary has just been released that reveals a man driven more by ego than science. The diary suggests Fauci may have violated Federal laws in seeking to protect his reputation from the press, and in quashing dissent among the professional classes, including targeting doctors and scientists for terminations.

Anthony Fauci’s diary musing about dinners with famed journalists during the COVID-19 lockdowns evoked memories of neighbors who couldn’t have guests at their child’s funeral, or attend the birth of their grandchildren, or buy seeds at a local garden center.

Those narcissistic entries about his towering fame reminded me of local children who were barred from attending high school with their friends, couldn’t have proper graduations, or start college on time, many of whose lives were needlessly thrown off course forever.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s document dump of the diary entries and emails of former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases accentuates what we already knew about Fauci. Though his fans portrayed him as a saintly public health official merely sharing advice and evolving science with decision-makers, Fauci was a self-serving authoritarian operator who relied on fearmongering, coaxing, and lying to manipulate the behavior of hundreds of millions of Americans.

On Feb. 8, 2020, for example, Fauci acknowledged privately that after speaking with former CDC Director Tom Frieden, he believed COVID’s fatality rate was likely at 0.2-0.3% not 2%, and “acting like a bad influenza.”

One of the officials who backed the public health bureaucrat was Hope Hicks, a counselor to the president and former White House communications director, whom Fauci described as “very nice” after their first meeting in March 2020.

Fauci soon wrote that Hicks appeared to view him as a “future ally” after seeming uncomfortable with Trump’s desire for the COVID-19 team to hold two press briefings a day to boost morale and the economy through public transparency.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, architect of the coronavirus lockdowns, was behind attempts to discredit Trump administration officials during the pandemic, feeding questions to CNN propagandist Jake Tapper, according to Fauci’s newly released diary.

In a July 26, 2020, entry, Fauci wrote of then-Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir that Giroir was “on Tapper (State of the Union) talking bullsh-t about testing with Jake pressing him. I gave Jake some questions to ask him.”

Tapper and Fauci apparently became close friends, having dinners together at each others’ homes, something Fauci referred to as “friendship building.” While Fauci was able yuck it up with the D.C. elite, he pushed policies that would not allow family to be with their dying loved ones during their last moments alive.

The two would text each other, and on July 26, 2020, Fauci said “Jake Tapper woke me up at 11:23 AM (I went to bed early) furius[sic] at POTUS for tweeting about the fact that Jake severely questioned Brett Giroir on SOTU CNN show day. Jake was really pissed at the craziness of it all.”
