Dr. Anthony Fauci, the main White House medical advisor, has been asked for information regarding his financial and professional history by OpenTheBooks.com.
According to firm CEO Adam Andrzejewski, the public may only view some of Fauci’s disclosures given over the course of many years.
The group filed its first Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on January 28, 2021, and while Fauci’s National Institute for Health accepted the request, they remained silent for months.
They received 51 of the pages they wanted from the group in May of last year, a drop in the bucket compared to what they requested from the organization.
Fauci’s disclosures are technically available to anybody who wants them, but they aren’t in the same searchable database as those made by other federal officials.
Furthermore, any FOIA request can take months to be processed, as was the case with Fauci’s data.
After receiving enough backlash, the watchdog group decided to team up with Judicial Watch, another legal activism group. According to Andrzejewski, the organization resorted to filing a lawsuit on Oct. 25, 2021, which progressed quickly through federal court.
