Florida AG Says Fauci Probe Could Find Criminal Liability After 111 Fifth Amendment Invocations

Summary
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said his office’s investigation into Anthony Fauci could uncover criminal liability, even though a presidential pardon covers Fauci’s federal actions from 2014 to 2025.
111 invocations of the Fifth Amendment at a July 29 Senate hearing intensified the probe, with Uthmeier saying investigators are examining possible fraud, deceptive trade practices, public nuisance and any self-dealing tied to COVID-era policies.
Florida plans to use every tool under state law and is coordinating with other states seeking accountability over federal healthcare decisions and pandemic mandates.
A Senate Homeland Security committee has already voted on party lines to charge Fauci with contempt after he refused to answer questions; Uthmeier said criminal wrongdoing has not yet been established.
