Florida AG threatens Fauci investigation after Senate hearing

James Uthmeier says his office is launching a Florida investigation into Anthony Fauci after the former NIAID director invoked the Fifth Amendment.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Wednesday he is launching a probe into Dr. Anthony Fauci after the longtime health official invoked the Fifth Amendment 100-plus times during a Senate hearing on the COVID-19 pandemic. “Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable,” Uthmeier wrote on social platform X.
