Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has launched a civil investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

The investigation will look into various aspects of Dr. Fauci’s professional activities and the decisions made during his tenure, particularly concerning the pandemic response. Specific details regarding the nature of the awards, professional opportunities, and grants under review were not immediately available.
The Attorney General’s office has stated its commitment to examining whether any actions taken by Dr. Fauci may have had an adverse impact on the state of Florida, its businesses, or its residents. Further information regarding the scope and findings of the civil investigation is expected to be released as it becomes available.
