Rand Paul lambasts Fauci for getting 'treated like a president' with taxpayer-funded security
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., expressed outrage over new revelations that recently-retired ex-NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci is privy to a taxpayer-reimbursed security detail.
Documents obtained by “Jesse Watters Primetime” from the U.S. Marshals Service through a request described how the marshals took over that responsibility from the Department of Health & Human Services at the beginning of 2023.
Paul sent a letter to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra in June requesting additional details about Fauci’s current employment status and special taxpayer-funded benefits.
On “Jesse Watters Primetime,” host Jesse Watters said a source’s tip led to a FOIA request to the U.S. Marshals that revealed the security detail for Fauci.
FAUCI STILL GETTING US MARSHAL SECURITY DETAIL ON TAXPAYERS DIME DESPITE RETIREMENT: DOCS
Watters reported the documents also stated Fauci’s perks include limousine transportation.
Paul said he also was told Fauci still has a detail, and that he questioned HHS about it.
“HHS actually came back to us and said they haven’t been paying for it since January. But then we discovered that Fox did a Freedom of Information Act and a judge forced them to say that, well, while HHS wasn’t directly funding it, the U.S. Marshals were funding it,” he said.
Paul said the federal officials told him they weren’t directly paying for it, but that, in the senator’s words, “somebody else is doing it and then we’re reimbursing them.”
“So it’s a terrible example of the government lying to its representatives and to the people. But also, why is a retired guy, the only retired official I know of that gets this kind of treatment is a former president,” Paul added.
EX-CDC DIRECTOR SAYS UNREDACTED FAUCI EMAILS REVEAL AGRESSIVE ATTEMPT TO CHANGE NARRATIVE
“So I have no idea why this bureaucrat still has a limo driver security detail.”
Paul wondered aloud if Fauci also gets pro bono legal representation in retirement as well, quipping the doctor may need it one day.
The senator said Fauci’s wealth increased 30% during the pandemic, and that he should be able to afford his own security without expending taxpayer funds.
By the end of his 54-year career in the bureaucracy, Fauci rose to become the highest-paid federal official.
The doctor and the senator also often sparred while he was at NIAID, with Paul once asking if he wished to revise past testimony to Congress based on new revelations at the time, while Fauci notably once declared the Kentuckian – who is a doctor of ophthalmology – had “no idea what he was talking about” when it came to his medical analysis of the coronavirus.
Fauci has since been replaced at NIAID in an acting capacity by Dr. Hugh Auchincloss, an immunologist and father of Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass.

Website: https://siddharthasthana.dev/This summer, I am thrilled to be selected as a Google Summer of Code 2023 Student Developer at GitLab for the second consecutive year. My GSoC project aims to enhance GitLab’s merge request comparisons using git range-diff, enabling effective code reviews and verifying changes during rebasing.

Recently, I have been selected as a mentee for The Linux Foundation’s LFX Mentorship Spring 2023 Program, to work on the Cortex Project. I am working on implementing an API in Cortex for importing old Prometheus TSDB block data to simplify the migration of data from Prometheus to Cortex.

Last summer, I worked as a Google Summer of Code 2022 Student Developer at GitLab, a DevOps platform. I worked with the Gitaly team, which is a Git RPC service which is responsible for handling git calls made by GitLab. My tasks were to integrate the mailmap feature in GitLab. Apart from that, I also worked on GitLab’s contributor graph feature to use git-shortlog which will improve the performance of the graph.
I chronicled my GSoC journey in my personal blog https://siddharthasthana.dev/archives/. Here is the link to it: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/projects/ya…
My GSoC work got highlighted in the GitHub and Git communities. Here is the link:

I have been actively contributing to other OSS projects like Zulip which is a real-time team chat system and Git, a distributed version control system. At IVY, I have written functions and tests for the ML transpiler and deep learning framework. In the process, I learned not only about how web platforms work, but also have some knowledge of how low level systems like kernel work.
