\n Even before the US enacted a national shutdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci pondered whether he might have testified before Congress more than any other official.\n <\/p>

\n As the longtime face of the government\u2019s infectious disease response, he was on Capitol Hill roughly 250 times over the course of his career to discuss threats such as the HIV\/AIDS crisis and Ebola.\n <\/p>\n

\n On Wednesday, the retired scientist will notch one more testimony, in what is expected to be a combative hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.\n <\/p>\n

\n The appearance will mark the latest showdown with Sen. Rand Paul, the committee\u2019s chairman, who has long sought to blame the Covid pandemic and shortcomings of the US response on Fauci.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fauci did not agree to turn up willingly. In June,Paul subpoenaed the 85-year-old former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for his appearance.\n <\/p>\n

\n Internal correspondence shared with CNN shows that Fauci initially declined to appear voluntarily, citing his past clashes with Paul and the senator\u2019s efforts to indict him.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cYour request that Dr. Fauci appear before the Committee arises within a context that cannot be ignored \u2014 the context of repeated public and absolutely baseless pronouncements by you, a sitting United States Senator, that Dr. Fauci should be prosecuted and jailed,\u201d his lawyers wrote in a letter to Paul.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ahead of the hearing, the committee released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci\u2019s personal diary from 2019 to 2022. Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday night on Fox News that he had recently handed the files over to Paul and Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson after finding them on government servers following an eight-month search.\n <\/p>\n

\n Neither HHS nor Paul\u2019s committee alerted Fauci ahead of time that they had obtained his diary and that they planned to publish it in full, according to a person familiar with the matter.\n <\/p>\n

\n The entries documented his frequent media appearances and growing fame, shining a light on his interactions with celebrities and dozens of members of the news media, including some CNN journalists.\n <\/p>\n

\n The diary entries also narrate Fauci\u2019s growing concerns about Covid-19, frustrations with the government response and conflicting relationships with both Trump and Biden administration officials.\n <\/p>\n

\n Paul\u2019s intense focus on discrediting Fauci has taken a toll on him, according to people familiar with the scientist. The long-running probe has forced Fauci to continue defending his actions well into retirement, while fueling further conspiracies theories about him and deepening distrust in the broader public health establishment.\n <\/p>\n

\n The GOP fixation on Fauci also disrupted the careers of those closest to him; amid a Trump administration purge of federal health officials last year, Fauci\u2019s wife was fired from her job at the National Institutes of Health, and at least three of his former longtime colleagues at the agency were reassigned.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNobody would want this. But I\u2019ve known him for a very long time and we both use the phrase \u2018Brooklyn strong\u2019 quite a bit,\u201d said Peter Staley, an AIDS activist and longtime friend of Fauci. \u201cHe\u2019ll get through this,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s got all the facts on his side.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Paul and Fauci have clashed repeatedly over the years about the origins of Covid-19, Fauci\u2019s guidance on shutdowns and allegations that Fauci instructed NIAID staff on corresponding through private channels to avoid public records gained through Freedom of Information Act requests.\n <\/p>\n

\n Since the early days of the pandemic, the senator has accused Fauci of greenlighting controversial research to make viruses more contagious and virulent, mostly as a means of better understanding their spread and how to treat them, known as gain-of-function research. Paul has alleged, without evidence, that NIAID-funded studies in Wuhan, China, used gain-of-function research and led to the coronavirus pandemic.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fauci has repeatedly denied this both before the senator and in his diary entries.\n <\/p>\n

\n An analysis of viruses used in the Wuhan lab \u201cclearly indicate(s) that it is molecularly impossible for the viruses under the auspices of the NIH grant to have been manipulated into or evolved into SARS-Cov-2,\u201d he wrote in July 2021.\n <\/p>\n

\n Paul has previously called for Fauci to be indicted for denying that the US government funded of gain-of-function research in China, which Paul characterizes as a lie. Fauci has maintained that US-funded studies did not meet the federal government\u2019s definition of the restricted research.\n <\/p>\n

\n This pressure from Paul and others led President Joe Biden to preemptively pardon Fauci during his last days in office, shielding Fauci from charges pertaining to any comments made in previous years.\n <\/p>\n

\n Paul could attempt to renew calls for perjury charges based on the scientist\u2019s remarks in the Wednesday hearing.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf he lies during the hearing, that\u2019s a new lie, and the pardon won\u2019t cover that,\u201d Paul said during his interview with Fox Business on July 15.\n <\/p>\n

\n Yet despite new access to Fauci\u2019s realtime thoughts throughout the pandemic, Paul and Johnson have both sought to manage expectations that the hearing will produce any major new developments.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c(I) don\u2019t expect to get much out of him,\u201d Sen. Ron Johnson, a member of the Homeland Security committee, said in a Fox News appearance last week. \u201cBut I\u2019m going to try and lay out all the things that he did that were such a miserably failed response to Covid.\u201d\n <\/p>

\n Dozens of diary entries made public by the committee show Fauci\u2019s growing concerns about the coronavirus threat and increasing internal conflicts about the government response.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fauci referenced long calls and conversations with Trump in which they would discuss the Covid-19 response and the president\u2019s messaging.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBig surprise was at 10:35 PM tonight I got a phone call at home from President Trump who wanted to chat about the coronavirus situation in general,\u201d he wrote on February 27 , 2020. He urged the president not to underplay the seriousness of the virus but noted that he did just that the next day.\n <\/p>\n

\n In July 2020, he and other officials explained to the president in an Oval Office meeting that vaccines would not be ready before the presidential election in November.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe accepted that the vaccine might not be ready before the election, but he was not happy about it. He kept pushing about when therapy would be ready,\u201d Fauci wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n But fractures in their relationship were forming, as Fauci noted days later.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe POTUS is playing a weird game of acting Okay with me in person and saying that our relationship is fine to the press and then retweeting stuff that attacks me. He is a very strange guy,\u201d Fauci wrote on July 28, 2020.\n <\/p>\n

\n In other entries, Fauci noted Trump nearly \u201cbegging\u201d Fauci and other Coronavirus Task Force members to end shutdown measures and yelling at officials such as Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the task force, that shutdowns were ruining the economy and his reelection efforts.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cTrump getting out of control in pushing to open up the country and get the economy back before election day. He is desparate (sic). This is all about re-election,\u201d Fauci wrote in May 2020.\n <\/p>\n

\n The diary also indicates that Fauci believed administration officials were blocking his media appearances, particularly when his message fell out of line with Trump\u2019s narrative. Fauci and Trump denied early in the pandemic that the administration was limiting his media appearances, but by the summer, the tension had grown.\n <\/p>\n

\n A Health and Human Services spokesperson at the time \u201ctold me that I am being kept off TV (even though they were leaning to approve requests) because of my comment about \u2018false narrative\u2019 concerning relying on deaths going down,\u201d he wrote in July 2020.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n In other entries, Fauci wrote about Trump\u2019s illness with coronavirus and later Biden\u2019s illness, discussions of booster vaccines and America\u2019s \u201cCovid fatigue.\u201d The diary continued through late 2022, with Fauci mulling in some writing about when he would retire.\n <\/p>\n

\n In early entries, Fauci made a few brief allusions to people who would years later join Trump\u2019s second administration.\n <\/p>\n

\n On October 7, 2020, he wrote that then-HHS Secretary Alex Azar met with White House advisor Scott Atlas and \u201chis 3 stooges\u201d who authored the Great Barrington Declaration, a call to end broad shutdown measures. One of those people was Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, now director of the National Institutes of Health.\n <\/p>\n

\n On April 2, 2020, he fretted that now HHS secretary RFK Jr. was preparing to publish a book about him that \u201cwill almost certainly be slanderous.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The pandemic saw Fauci become a household name, and in his diaries, he regularly marveled at the \u201cmedia frenzy\u201d and noted with some amusement comics, memorabilia and art depicting him.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cFor better or worse, I am becoming an international celebrity. Calls from all over the world,\u201d he wrote in March 2020.\n <\/p>\n

\n He seemed to revel in the celebrity connections bolstered by his position. In April 2020, reality star Kim Kardashian arranged a Zoom call for him to speak with nearly three dozen actors, singers and athletes, including Demi Lovato and Michael Jordan.\n <\/p>\n

\n In December 2020, he noted that several celebrities appeared in a video compilation wishing him a happy birthday. \u201cIt was very moving,\u201d he wrote.\n <\/p>\n

\n Earlier that month, Fauci logged that he \u201creceived a call from Ethel and Kerry Kennedy explicitly inviting (me) up to Hyannisport for 4th of July weekend. They were so nice over the phone. They said that they loved and admired me and were so please that the Kennedy family could honor me.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He appeared to monitor how his outreach with celebrities was received, noting in April 2021 that \u201c95%\u201d of comments on an Instagram Live with model and actress Tyra Banks were positive, but \u201csome were really mean and vicious statements about me and Tyra.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He added, \u201cOne person said that Tyra was sexy, but I was even more sexy than she was. She read it and put a big smile on her face and said that she agreed with that but then beautifully and gently shot this down by saying: \u2018Dr. Fauci, that is true and my mother is in love with you.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n At times, celebrities almost treated Fauci as a private physician and confidant. In February 2021, actress and singer Barbra Streisand called him to discuss the safety of mRNA vaccines after a shingles outbreak. They later discussed \u201clife in general,\u201d and Fauci explained the Amazon product Alexa to Streisand by instructing the virtual assistant to play her songs. By October, Streisand was asking about booster shots, and they joked about their mutual Brooklyn accents.\n <\/p>
