# Scrutiny of Anthony Fauci records and conduct > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/scrutiny-of-anthony-fauci-records-and-conduct > Updated: 2026-09-08T11:17:50.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Recent developments have brought new scrutiny to the professional conduct and records of former US virologist Anthony Fauci. Documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation suggest that in approximately 2012, Fauci instructed an aide to permanently delete an email exchange concerning warnings about gain-of-function research. The exchange reportedly involved a journalist warning that such experiments could cause a “doomsday” scenario and harm the reputation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These findings suggest a potential violation of federal law regarding the destruction of public records. Additionally, personal diaries belonging to Fauci, covering the period from 2019 to 2022, have emerged following an initiative by Senator Rand Paul. These diaries, which were maintained on government computers and servers, contain his professional and personal reflections during his tenure on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-08: Anthony Fauci personal diaries emerge regarding COVID-19 response Personal diaries of former US virologist Anthony Fauci, documenting his experiences and reflections during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2022, have surfaced following an inquiry by Senator Rand Paul. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/anthony-fauci-personal-diaries-emerge-regarding-covid-19-response ### 2026-08-28: Anthony Fauci allegedly ordered deletion of emails regarding gain-of-function research New documents suggest Anthony Fauci instructed an aide to delete emails regarding warnings about risky gain-of-function research and its potential for “doomsday” consequences. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/anthony-fauci-allegedly-ordered-deletion-of-emails-regarding-gain-of-function-research --- Cite as: Scrutiny of Anthony Fauci records and conduct.
