On Thursday, August 6th, 2026, three state attorneys general issued subpoenas to Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding his guidance during the Covid-19 pandemic. This action comes amid efforts by Republicans in Washington to hold Fauci in contempt for his refusal to answer questions about the handling of the pandemic.

The subpoenas reflect ongoing political scrutiny of pandemic-related decisions and communications. Fauci, a prominent figure in the U.S. Covid response, has faced criticism from some Republican lawmakers who question aspects of the federal government's pandemic strategy.
