Yes. As of August 3, 2026, three states are publicly investigating Anthony Fauci at the state level: Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana.
The immediate trigger was Fauci's July 29 Senate Homeland Security Committee appearance, where he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions concerning COVID origins, NIH funding, his communications, and other pandemic-era matters. The Senate officially lists that hearing as “Testimony of Anthony Fauci.” �
Homeland Security Committee
Florida: AG James Uthmeier announced an investigation looking at whether Fauci's conduct caused physical or financial harm to Floridians and whether any Florida laws were violated. �
New York Post
Alabama: AG Steve Marshall has been pursuing the state-law angle for some time. Alabama officially announced in February 2025 that it was examining potential state violations and seeking evidence from Congress. �

Louisiana: AG Liz Murrill has now announced Louisiana is joining Florida and Alabama, specifically saying her office will investigate whether Fauci committed offenses that can be pursued in state court. �

There's an important wrinkle: Biden's pardon does not give Fauci immunity from state crimes. Presidential pardon power applies to federal offenses. That's precisely why the state investigations matter.
Also, this actually goes beyond just three AGs historically. In February 2025, 17 Republican state attorneys general—including Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri and others—signed a letter saying they intended to examine potential state-law violations and asked Congress to provide evidence. �

What has changed now is that Florida, Alabama and Louisiana are being identified as the three states actively moving forward with specific Fauci investigations.
One caution: an investigation is not an indictment. They still have to establish jurisdiction, identify a specific state statute, overcome any statute-of-limitations issues, and develop admissible evidence.
If you want, I can dig into exactly what Fauci could realistically be charged with in each of the three states—and which case looks strongest.
