On Thursday, August 6th, 2026, three state attorneys general issued subpoenas to Dr. Anthony Fauci concerning his guidance during the Covid pandemic. This action comes as Republicans in Washington seek to hold Fauci in contempt for his refusal to respond to inquiries about how the pandemic was handled.

The subpoenas mark a significant development in ongoing political scrutiny of pandemic decision-making. Fauci, a central figure in the U.S. Covid response, has faced repeated questioning from Republican lawmakers regarding his role and the guidance provided during the crisis.
