Biden’s sweeping pardon has been widely criticized, with many suggesting it signals an implicit admission of guilt. Wilson did not mince words in his response, stating, “President Biden’s blanket pardon of Dr. Fauci is a shameful attempt to prevent accountability.”
The pardon shields Fauci from federal prosecution, but state-level charges remain a real possibility. Attorneys general from multiple states argue that their jurisdiction allows them to investigate potential violations of state laws, ensuring that no one is above the law—even those once considered untouchable.
Legal experts note that while a presidential pardon covers federal offenses, it does not extend to state crimes. This legal distinction has paved the way for state prosecutors to act where federal authorities now cannot. The attorneys general are particularly focused on uncovering any evidence of negligence, misconduct, or abuse of power related to Fauci’s pandemic policies and public statements.
“Despite these findings, former President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for Dr. Fauci, shielding him from federal prosecution for any offenses committed during his tenure. However, the attorneys general assert that this federal pardon does not prevent state-level legal action,” their letter to Congress affirmed. “The attorneys general have requested that Congress provide them with any relevant findings that could lead to state investigations and potential prosecutions. They reaffirm their commitment to upholding public trust, ensuring transparency, and preventing similar failures in future public health crises.”

Public reaction to the probe has been mixed, with some applauding the effort to hold Fauci accountable, while others see it as a politically motivated attack. Nevertheless, the push for further investigation suggests that questions about Fauci’s role in the pandemic response are far from settled.
With this multi-state effort gaining traction, all eyes are now on Congress to see if lawmakers will cooperate with the attorneys general by releasing key investigative findings. If state prosecutors uncover actionable evidence, Fauci could still face legal consequences despite the federal pardon.
As the battle for accountability continues, this investigation could set a significant precedent for how public officials are held responsible for their actions—regardless of political affiliations or presidential protections.
