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 and Governmental Affairs Committee obtained a copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government phone, provided by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alongside thousands of pages of archived communications and diary entries.
- The panel is using the phone records to scrutinize Fauci's COVID-era communications, with Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Ron Johnson alleging the data could shed light on early discussions surrounding the pandemic's origins and internal agency decision-making.
- The acquisition of the phone comes as the committee prepares to vote on holding Fauci in contempt of Congress, following his refusal to answer questions at a recent hearing where he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 100 times.
- Fauci defended his decision to remain silent, stating on the advice of legal counsel that Chairman Rand Paul holds an "unhinged obsession" with prosecuting him and attempting to entrap him despite his previous extensive testimony.
- This development follows the recent public release of Fauci's journals transferred from HHS to Congress, with officials indicating additional document transfers regarding his pandemic tenure are expected.
