Fauci starts legal defense fund as federal, state investigations multiply– www.lifesitenews.com

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s lawyers launched a legal defense fund as the former COVID-19 czar’s legal woes continue to mount. 

After two disastrous U.S. Senate hearings and publication of his personal diary this summer, Fauci has now been subpoenaed by three Republican state attorneys general seeking to determine whether he personally profited from guidance he issued during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While President Joe Biden gave the COVID kahuna a blanket pardon stretching from 2014 to the final day of his presidency, that pardon protects Fauci only from federal prosecution, leaving him exposed to potential legal actions from states. 

The Biden pardon would also not apply to the Contempt of Congress charge that Senate Republicans turned over to the Department of Justice earlier this month after the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director invoked the fifth amendment more than 100 times during a hearing in July. 

“The Anthony S. Fauci M.D. Legal Defense Fund was established to help cover the legal representation and associated administrative costs for Dr. Fauci,” the fund’s website states. “Your contributions directly support these defense efforts and ensure comprehensive legal support during ongoing inquiries and proceedings.”
