Rand Paul confirms Fauci’s government-funded security amid retirement rumors.
Sen. Rand Paul Reveals Government-Funded Security Detail for Retired Dr. Fauci
During an interview on Jesse Watters Primetime, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) dropped a bombshell revelation about former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Despite his alleged retirement, it turns out that Fauci is still receiving government-funded security detail.
According to Paul, the United States Marshals Service is paying for Fauci’s security, with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reimbursing the expenses. This information came to light after Paul and his team inquired about Fauci’s status and whether he still had a driver and security detail.
“But then we discovered that Fox did a Freedom of Information Act, and a judge forced them to say that while HHS wasn’t directly funding it, the U.S. Marshals were funding it. So, can you imagine, we asked the government, ‘are you funding his limo, and driver, and security detail,’ and they say, ‘Oh, we’re not doing it, but oh, somebody else is doing it, and we’re reimbursing them?’?”
Paul expressed his frustration with the government’s lack of transparency, stating that it was a clear example of the government lying to its representatives and the people. He questioned why a retired official like Fauci would still require such services, comparing it to the treatment given to former presidents.
“The only retired official I know of that gets this kind of treatment is a former president. So, I have no idea why this bureaucrat still has a limo driver, security detail,” Paul said. “And we want to know: Does he still get legal representation? — because he may need that eventually.”
Paul also pointed out that Fauci has the financial means to pay for his own security detail and legal defense, highlighting the fact that Fauci’s wealth increased by 30% during the pandemic.
Dr. Fauci announced his retirement in August 2022, stepping down from his NIAID position and as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser at the end of the year. However, Paul has been critical of Fauci, accusing him of using his position to “weaponize the government” and profiting financially from an alleged cover-up regarding the origin of the coronavirus.
