‘If He Made Money While Perpetrating Fraud…’: Florida AG Vows to Probe Fauci’s ‘Criminal Liability’

The subpoena seeks records on book deals, awards and other benefits that state officials say may have overlapped with pandemic guidance.

  • On Sunday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into Anthony Fauci, examining potential civil and criminal claims regarding financial incentives and self-dealing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Uthmeier's probe follows a contentious Senate hearing last month where Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times while facing questions from lawmakers.
  • The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul , voted last week to hold Fauci in contempt, arguing the 111 times he asserted his constitutional rights amounted to contempt.
  • Although Former President Joe Biden issued Fauci a sweeping pardon on Jan. 19, 2025, Uthmeier claims the immunity does not protect the former NIAID director from prosecution under state law.
  • Using 'every tool under Florida law,' investigators plan to scrutinize allegations that Fauci profited from pandemic policies, seeking grounds for criminal liability including public nuisance and fraud.
