What happened

Sen. Rand Paul released 1,141 pages of pandemic-era diary entries by former NIAID director Anthony Fauci ahead of Fauci’s scheduled Senate committee appearance on Wednesday. The entries include January 2020 notes on early discussions about COVID-19’s origin and fatality rate, as well as later reflections on school closures, masking, lockdowns and internal disputes in the Trump administration. Paul and conservative commentators said the journals conflict with Fauci’s public statements, while other coverage highlighted entries in which Fauci criticized Trump’s pandemic management and described a chaotic federal response.
