Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife were spotted on Thursday outside their Washington, DC, home after a Senate panel voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, and they clearly were not having a good day.
The New York Post obtained photos of Fauci, reportedly just hours after the vote, taking his dumpster to the curb at his $2.4 million DC home.
Another photo shows Fauci standing in his yard, scratching his head as he stares into the camera with a depressing gaze.
Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, was later photographed driving her car with Fauci in the passenger seat.
She just looked angry, flipping off the camera as passenger princess Fauci stared on with the same sad gaze.
Rand Paul, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and leader of the push to hold Fauci in contempt, shared the story on X, writing, “Is that how you plead the fifth in sign language?”

President Trump weighed in on the contempt vote, accusing Fauci of crimes that are “far more serious than a lot of crimes.” He also noted that his advisors, Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, were both sent to prison for defying subpoenas from the January 6 committee, noting, “When you see that happen, you sort of say, maybe he should” be prosecuted.
WATCH:
Rand Paul announced on Thursday evening that he “hand-delivered” a criminal referral of Fauci to the Department of Justice, urging them to bring charges against the disgraced ex-NIAID chief.
Paul had told reporters following the successful Homeland Security Committee contempt vote, “The next decision we have decided is we will forward it. It’s the committee’s verdict that he should be held in contempt, and it will be sent.”
Paul did not rule out a Senate floor vote on the resolution, saying, “We’ll see what happens over time, but this is outside of the ordinary billmaking process. It doesn’t have to go to the House, doesn’t have to be signed by the president, and really doesn’t have to go before the Senate. There is some precedent for doing it that way, and it still may be done that way. But for now, we will hand-carry this over to the attorney general, we will hand-carry this to the district court here in Columbia, and we will, as a committee, we have voted the majority to refer this.”
