Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is demanding to know whether Dr. Anthony Fauci is still receiving a government salary or other government perks despite his 2022 announcement that he stepped down from his role leading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
In a letter sent to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, his department’s Inspector General, and the current head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Paul asked for "additional information regarding Dr. Fauci’s employment status and receipt of taxpayer-funded benefits."
Paul noted that Fauci said in various media interviews late last year that he was "not retiring" but was going to the "next chapter" and "moving on from [his] current positions," which also included being President Biden’s chief medical advisor.
"While many interpreted these statements to mean Dr. Fauci would be ending his employment with the federal government in December 2022, it is not clear if that is in fact the case," Paul wrote.
"This raises questions about Dr. Fauci’s current employment status and whether he is still receiving certain taxpayer-funded benefits associated with active public service, such as legal counsel and protective services," the senator added.
A Capitol Hill source told Fox News Digital that the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, of which Paul is the top Republican, was meant to be notified whether Fauci’s security status ended at the end of his employment with the administration, or if it was extended somehow.

Very interesting ...
Fauci is probably worried his $350K retirement pay won’t support his comfortable life style. Too bad government employees aren’t on Social Security like the rest of us Plebes are.
Keep on him, Rand!
Why is Rand the only one who actually questions things.
Will this be denied under the “sources and methods” clause of the Constitution?
No, he is set up for life. The guy wants to keep working because either he loves it or he is on a mission.
Fauci can work from home and get paid by Harvard.
Fauci has millions in bribes put away. That’s only what he has reported. Who knows how much he has in offshore accounts. He’s addicted to being in the limelight. Now he can’t stay away.
Read this carefully - “This raises questions about Dr. Fauci’s current employment status and whether he is still receiving certain taxpayer-funded benefits associated with active public service, such as legal counsel and protective services,”
Notice the words “Protective Services”
JUST which agency is PROTECTING the little gnome? So a group of ARMED THUGS at TAXPAYER expense is keeping Fauci safe. WHY would Fauci need “Protective Services” ????
America is run by a Praetorian Guard, Politburo or Committee for Public Safety.
No one really retires.
It is common for top tier government employees to retire with full benefits, then go to work for a contractor and do the same work as before.
I haven’t seen the little troll lately.
Fauci was and will continue to be the nation’s biggest bloodsucker as long as he can.
I think if he didn’t retire its because the gov’t will cover his legal bills if he is sued over his Covid lies IF he is still an employee
He was the highest paid Federal employee.... Im assuming if he’s working in an official capacity for the government they could see if he is still being paid.
Short little man with a huge attitude that probably can’t stand not being in the lime light. He will probably fine a probable pandemic in the near future so he can decree health mandates everyone must obey.
With lying ass Fauci it is best to double check. But he retired in a public fashion so I think he is retired. But who knows?
Because he is the smartest one in the herd,.
LIBERTIARIAN=LIMITED GOVERNMENT
MANY HARMED WANT TO HANG THE POS. Remember those 89 pares of side effects, jab injuries, miscarriages, HIV, MICARDIOITIS, HERPES, Advancing cancers, blood clots, and lockdowns. Add Gates and Soros to the list.
And we are still in a DAMN DEPRESSION!
