Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama have announced or confirmed investigations into Anthony Fauci related to his COVID-19 role, following a recent Senate hearing in which he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment.
- Florida: Attorney General James Uthmeier announced his office is launching an investigation shortly after the July 29, 2026, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing (led by Sen. Rand Paul). Uthmeier cited Fauci’s lack of candor, stating it was “past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.” His office has indicated it will examine potential violations of Florida law, including what Fauci knew, when he knew it, alleged misleading of the public, and resulting harms to Floridians.
- Louisiana: Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that Louisiana would join Alabama and Florida in investigating Fauci. She referenced prior depositions (Louisiana and Missouri), claimed discrepancies with contemporaneous records, and said the state would look into whether he committed offenses that could be pursued in state courts. Gov. Jeff Landry publicly supported the move.
- Alabama: Reporting and statements (including Louisiana’s announcement treating it as concurrent) indicate Alabama is launching an investigation as well. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (running for governor) has strongly advocated pursuing state-level accountability, arguing Biden’s federal pardon does not block state actions and vowing to explore bringing Fauci before Alabama courts if elected. Earlier multi-state AG efforts (including Alabama) had already signaled interest in state-level scrutiny.
Context
The announcements followed the Senate hearing in which Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times (reports cite figures around 111). The hearing came after Sen. Paul released more than 1,000 pages from Fauci’s pandemic-era notes/diary, which Republicans said showed inconsistencies with public statements. On his last day in office, former President Biden issued Fauci a broad federal pardon covering potential offenses tied to his government roles (roughly 2014–early 2025). That pardon does not shield him from state prosecutions.
John Solomon’s post accurately summarizes the Just the News / Center Square reporting on these state AG actions. The probes are at the announcement/early investigation stage; no charges have been filed, and outcomes remain to be determined. Coverage appears across outlets including Just the News, The Hill, Fox News, Politico, and local Louisiana/Alabama sources.
