# Fauci diary and Senate probe expand into policy scrutiny > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/dni-tulsi-gabbard-launches-overseas-biolab-investigation-and-later-denies-cia-raid-rumor > Updated: 2026-08-27T19:16:08.000Z. Sources: 192. Developments: 41. Following the July 2026 release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private diary, new excerpts have intensified scrutiny of his pandemic-era conduct. Documents released by Senator Rand Paul suggest Fauci privately questioned the effectiveness of lockdowns, school closures, and mask mandates, potentially contradicting his public advocacy. The diary also revealed frequent 2020 communications with then-White House aide Katie Miller; while Fauci described her as “great (tough, smart, but great),” Miller has denied a personal friendship, stating the exchanges were strictly professional. In early August, the Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a subpoena for Fauci’s daily response logs, noting discrepancies between his private notes and public statements regarding social distancing. Amidst this, scientific organizations such as the American Society for Microbiology and the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition issued statements of support, with the former calling his work the “gold standard.” Conversely, PETA released a satirical portrait criticizing his oversight of animal experiments. While social media claims suggested the diary proved Fauci created SARS-CoV-2, analysis indicates these entries actually record such claims as “propaganda.” For instance, one entry notes Fauci documenting Judy Mikovits’ intent to claim he created the virus, rather than admitting to it. Despite these clarifications, Fauci continues to face intense questioning regarding gain-of-function research and the origins of the virus, frequently invoking the Fifth Amendment during testimony. ## Claims - Senator Rand Paul released portions of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private diary entries.
