Dr. Fauci was already the highest-paid federal employee in America. That wasn't enough. My committee released records showing NIH staff worked to land him a $900,000 prize while he ran the government's pandemic response.
Documents show he told the foreign foundation he would accept the award months before his own agency even finished reviewing whether he was allowed to. Ethics review as a formality instead of a safeguard is exactly the kind of Washington culture I have spent my career fighting.
