Hawley accuses Fauci of using taxpayer money for cash awards

Hawley said Fauci used federal staff to seek more than $1 million in awards, while Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times.

  • Senator Josh Hawley accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of using taxpayer-funded employees to pursue over $1 million in personal cash awards during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a $900,000 prize.
  • During a Senate hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 100 times despite having been pardoned by former President Joe Biden.
  • Hawley argued Fauci had no right to plead the Fifth after the pardon, citing the 1896 Supreme Court case Brown v. Walker, and accused Fauci of contempt for Congress and the American people.
  • The hearing involved heated exchanges, with Hawley accusing Fauci of harming science and contempt, while Fauci described calls for prosecution as an obsession.
