Rand Paul subpoenas Fauci after no-show for previous panel request

Published June 23, 2026 11:12am ET



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed on Monday he subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear before Congress in July, after saying the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director failed to show up to a Senate hearing last month. 

“Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us he will NOT voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so,” Paul wrote in a post to X. “Therefore, today I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month.”
