Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stated Wednesday his office will investigate Anthony Fauci, the former chief medical adviser to the president during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID,” Uthmeier wrote in a social media post on X.
Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable.
My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.

Republicans are criticizing Fauci for invoking the Fifth Amendment during a Senate committee hearing Wednesday led by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
Paul subpoenaed Fauci, 85, to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and has accused him of “dishonesty” during that period.
Uthmeier also said Fauci’s “lack of candor to Congress in unbelievable.”
