On July 29, 2026, the American people watched Dr. Anthony Fauci sit before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, and refuse to answer more than 100 questions.
He invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly, claiming Sen. Paul’s “unhinged obsession” and public calls for accountability left him no choice. That performance was not the act of a public servant who had nothing to hide.
It was the calculated silence of a man whose private diary entries, public statements and policy influence during the COVID-19 pandemic demand thorough investigation, arrest where warranted and prosecution.
Sen. Paul released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci’s pandemic-era diary in the days leading up to the hearing. Those entries reveal a stark contrast between what Fauci wrote privately and what he told the American people.
