The forced disclosure of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s financial records shows the doctor invested approximately $10.4 million in Chinese companies that, according to Christopher Ford, former Asst. Secretary of State for International Security, are “deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.”
The disclosed information is not good news for the embattled Fauci, who serves as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Forbes reports that representatives from OpenBooks.com believe additional incriminating documents are yet to be disclosed. Accordingly, they are suing NIAID for the release of all records which may show inappropriate financial activity and conflict of interest. A spokesperson for OpenBooks.com states:
“It’s not public what Dr. Fauci’s salary was last year or this year (the latest published salary is from FY2020). It’s not public what stocks and bonds Dr. Fauci bought and sold in 2020 or 2021, as he influenced Covid policies. It’s not public what Fauci received – or didn’t receive – in royalties (there are up to 1,000 current and former NIH scientists receiving royalties—each payment could be a potential conflict of interest),
“…all this information resides with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), but isn’t ‘public knowledge,’ despite Dr. Fauci’s claims otherwise in his sworn U.S. Senate testimony.”
Many believe the embarrassing financial disclosures will further erode the already dwindling confidence in Dr. Fauci and the Administration’s handling of the pandemic.
Last week, the Senate summoned Fauci to a hearing after the release of previously undisclosed emails which appear to show Fauci’s involvement in Gain of Function work and his early knowledge (and suppression) of information indicating the COVID-19 virus was artificially created (both points Fauci previously denied).
After reviewing the emails, Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) accused Fauci of lying in a Press Release.
“Just like he has misled the American people about sending taxpayers dollars to Wuhan, China to fund gain-of-function research, about masks, testing, and more, Dr. Fauci was completely dishonest about his financial disclosures being open to the public—it’s no wonder he is the least trusted bureaucrat in America,” Marshall stated.
During last week’s Senate Hearing, Fauci could be heard on a ‘hot-mic’ calling Marshall a ‘moron.’ Shortly after the Hearing, Marshall drafted the Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals Act (humorously called the “Fauci Act”). The request for Fauci’s financial records included a letter to Dr. Fauci.
Senator Marshall’s office Press Release summarized recent events and reiterated his assessment of Dr. Fauci’s poor job performance.
Newly released financial documents show that Fauci invested millions in the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund and Alibaba Group Holdings, part of Tencent Holdings. Tencent is known to comply with the CCP’s demand to collect personal data, monitor online activity, and censorship.
