Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier subpoenaed former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday as part of an investigation into whether Fauci improperly used his position for personal gain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The investigative subpoena, spurred by the public release of Fauci’s COVID-era journal entries, calls for Fauci to produce documents from January 3, 2020, to the present to determine whether he took part in self-dealing during COVID.

“Government officials have a certain level of immunity in their official capacities, but if Fauci personally profited off of the ‘guidance’ he issued, that very well could have broken Florida law,” said Uthmeier. “Fauci’s diary focused more on self-promotion than the legitimate safety concerns from the mRNA vaccines. While Fauci was pushing for book deals, awards, and fortune and fame, Floridians were being deceived and harmed by his misrepresentations.”

Uthmeier said he is teaming up with the attorneys general of West Virginia and Louisiana to look into awards, professional opportunities, financial incentives, grants, and COVID guidance that impacted their states.

“The public deserves answers to about a million questions related to the pandemic, its origins, and the government’s actions in response,” said Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. “What we know already is Fauci lied—we just don’t know yet how much. But he lied about something as basic as keeping a diary. The truth will come out.”

The subpoena seeks documents that include efforts seeking financial incentives for himself, awards Fauci applied for, considered or received related to the pandemic, an approximately $900,000 award received in 2021 from the Dan David Foundation, a 2022 research grant to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, professional opportunities offered to Fauci including professorships, book deals, board positions and more.

Other documents he has been ordered to produce include those concerning vaccine efficacy and boosters, natural immunity, potential adverse events and communications with vaccine manufacturers, interactions with Florida businesses and media outlets regarding COVID-19 vaccine sites, mask requirements, school closures, vaccine safety, and other COVID guidance.

Last week, Fauci appeared before a senate committee where he repeatedly pleaded his Fifth Amendment right when asked questions about apparent discrepancies between his private thoughts documented in his journal entries and his public COVID-19 guidance.

“Dr. Fauci’s recent refusal to answer Congress’s questions about his actions during the pandemic is concerning,” said West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey. “The American people deserve to know if they or their elected leaders were misled or manipulated. Both my Office and I support Attorney General Uthmeier’s efforts to uncover the truth.”

Fauci has until the end of the month to produce the documents.
