Dr. Anthony Fauci’s legal defense fund is now live, designed to cover the mounting costs of lawyers and administrative support as he faces ongoing investigations into his pandemic-era actions — even though he retired in 2022 and was granted a preemptive pardon by Biden in January 2025. At 85, the former NIH director, who earned nearly half a million dollars annually as the highest-paid federal employee at the time, is still under fire from Republican lawmakers and state officials, including Senator Rand Paul and Florida’s AG, who subpoenaed him to check for personal profit. During a recent hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 100 times, leading to a contempt vote — and now this fund is his lifeline amid a whirlwind of legal scrutiny.
