The Trump-era Covid czar pushed for pandemic safety requirements such as face mask use and social distancing that drew criticism from Republican lawmakers — particularly in Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation into Anthony Fauci on Wednesday amid continued GOP scrutiny in Washington.
The Trump-era Covid czar pushed for pandemic safety requirements such as face mask use and social distancing that drew criticism from Republican lawmakers — particularly in Florida, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis — and prompted dozens of appearances before congressional committees, where he was accused of misleading the public.
Fauci declined to answer questions Wednesday at a contentious Senate hearing, exercising his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Uthmeier announced the launch of a state investigation into Fauci shortly afterward.
“Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable,” Uthmeier said in a post on X. “It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.”
