Texas AG Ken Paxton leads a coalition of 17 Republican attorneys general in a bold push to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci under state laws, bypassing Biden’s federal pardon and restoring accountability for pandemic overreach that crushed American families and freedoms.
Fauci Faces State-Level Scrutiny Despite Federal Pardon
A coalition of 17 Republican state attorneys general, led by figures like Texas AG Ken Paxton and Alabama AG Steve Marshall, launched investigations into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s COVID-19 response. They cite NIH mismanagement, funding of risky Wuhan lab research through EcoHealth Alliance’s $3.7 million grant, and promotion of unscientific policies. In late 2024 and early 2025, the AGs sent a letter to Congress demanding all evidence from House probes for potential state prosecutions. Biden’s December 2024 preemptive pardon covers only federal offenses, leaving state laws intact and empowering red states to act.

House Hearings Expose Policy Failures and Obstruction
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic held hearings in early 2024 grilling Fauci on NIH grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and his advisor Dr. David Morens’ emails. Morens admitted FOIA evasion, record deletion, and backchanneling to EcoHealth President Peter Daszak. Fauci confirmed the 6-foot social distancing rule “sort of just appeared” without scientific basis. Reps. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) and John Joyce (R-Pa.), both M.D.s, condemned unscientific vaccine mandates that did not stop virus transmission, holding Fauci accountable for job losses and learning setbacks.
Morens Indictment Validates Cover-Up Claims
In 2025, the DOJ indicted Dr. David Morens on five counts including conspiracy, destruction of records, and concealment during federal investigations. Prosecutors charged him with using personal Gmail to shield COVID-19 grant records and share nonpublic NIH information with EcoHealth. Morens also authored a journal piece promoting natural origins over lab-leak theories to benefit the group. HHS debarred EcoHealth and Daszak amid these revelations. House Chairman James Comer stated Fauci either condoned or ignored the misconduct under his watch at NIAID.
Texas Path Forward Under Trump Administration
Texas AG Paxton signals state laws as a “powerful tool” against Fauci, targeting violations like Tex. Health & Safety Code subpoenas, fraud under Tex. Penal Code §32.01, and civil suits for mandate harms. Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) highlighted Fauci’s unchecked Wuhan grants in hearings. With President Trump’s second term now overseeing federal agencies, states gain leverage via 10th Amendment rights. Precedents include Paxton’s 2021 NIH suit and Missouri’s SCOTUS win on censorship tied to Fauci. Ongoing 2026 probes review House’s December 2024 report for charges.

Restoring Trust Through State Sovereignty
These efforts address taxpayer-funded grant waste, policy harms to families, and eroded trust in health institutions—vaccine hesitancy rose 20% post-mandates. Long-term, they set precedents overriding federal pardons via fraud statutes, reforming NIH oversight and banning gain-of-function research. Texas authorities monitor Paxton’s office for filings, empowering states against D.C. overreach and upholding conservative values of limited government and individual liberty amid frustrations with past fiscal mismanagement and woke public health agendas.
