Anthony Fauci's own diary confirms what millions of locked-down Americans suspected from the start: the man dictating your life wasn't following the science — he was chasing the bag, and now both the Senate and three state attorneys general are closing in on the truth.
The stakes couldn't be higher for ordinary Americans who lost businesses, missed funerals, and watched their kids wither behind masks while Fauci angled for awards and book deals. If the nation's top health official personally profited off the guidance he issued, that's not just a breach of public trust — it's potentially a crime, and the accountability reckoning is long overdue.
Sen. Rand Paul published Fauci's personal diary on July 25, preserved on government computers at the Department of Health and Human Services. The entries are damning. In his private diary, Fauci privately disputed the theory that SARS-CoV-2 originated in a Wuhan wet market — even as he publicly championed natural spillover and smeared anyone who mentioned the lab-leak theory as a conspiracy theorist. He privately quizzed subordinates about awards he could apply for, including the nearly $1 million Dan David Prize, affiliated with Tel Aviv University. When he won it in April 2021, his personal assistant Patricia Conrad cheered, "Congratulations....you're rich!" His chief of staff Greg Folkers chimed in: "I want my 15%." Fauci acknowledged receipt of the funds one month later.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, joined by West Virginia's John McCuskey and Louisiana's Liz Murrill, has now subpoenaed Fauci for records spanning January 2020 through August 2026, investigating whether he "personally profited off of the 'guidance' he issued." Uthmeier didn't mince words: "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."
The subpoena demands documents on vaccine efficacy, boosters, natural immunity, myocarditis risks, messaging strategies, and communications with vaccine manufacturers — the very subjects Fauci worked overtime to control and suppress public debate on.
Meanwhile, the Senate is turning up the heat. The Daily Caller reported that Paul's Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee has obtained the contents of Fauci's iPhone. Sen. Ron Johnson's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations confirmed receipt of the device Fauci used during his tenure. The same committee voted 8-7 along party lines to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after he pleaded the Fifth 111 times at a hearing — refusing to answer questions about the prize money, lockdowns, gain-of-function research in Wuhan, or the pandemic's origins.
Louisiana's Liz Murrill put it plainly: "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 Daily Caller framed the story around the Senate's procedural moves and phone acquisition — the institutional machinery grinding forward. The New York Post led with the state AGs and the profit angle — where the money went. Both are critical. The Senate can hold Fauci in contempt, but state prosecutors can bring charges that stick.
Fauci's diary already proved the science was never settled and the mandates were never about your health. His texts should show who he was talking to while he was making the deals. The question isn't whether accountability is coming — it's whether anyone in Washington has the stomach to see it through.
