Fauci set for high-profile hearing after Paul released diaries
The hearing will test Fauci’s private notes against his public comments as Republicans press claims that NIH-funded work in China may have fueled the pandemic.
- Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci is scheduled to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The high-profile hearing follows Senator Rand Paul's public release of over 1,000 pages of Fauci's private, near-daily journal entries written between late 2019 and late 2022.
- Senator Paul claims the diary entries expose an astounding level of dishonesty, pointing to early 2020 notes showing Fauci privately debated the possibility of a lab leak while publicly downplaying the theory.
- The leaked journals reveal Fauci's deep internal frustration with the Trump administration's pandemic response, with notes criticizing Donald Trump's lengthy briefings as rambling, incompetent, and overly focused on positive spin.
- The documents also detail Fauci's complicated relationship with his sudden global celebrity status, tracking media appearances and interactions with Hollywood stars alongside growing anxiety over how the fame compromised his personal safety.
