Congressman Biggs’s Statement on Anthony Fauci’s Appearance Before U.S. Senate Committee

July 29, 2026 Press Release GILBERT, ARIZONA- Today, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the United States Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times to avoid self-incriminating statements, despite previously receiving a blanket pardon from former President Joe Biden. Fauci’s lack of transparency and accountability again prove Congressman Biggs right about the former government bureaucrat. Throughout the government’s response to COVID-19 in 2020, Congressman Biggs was at the forefront of highlighting the inconsistencies in Fauci’s statements and opinions, as the bureaucrat’s counsel helped destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans. Dr. Fauci has also allegedly lied before Congress about the origins of COVID-19 and the research and funding for this virus before it escaped a Wuhan lab and killed many people around the world. “I was one of the first to question the counsel Dr. Anthony Fauci was giving during the COVID-19 response in 2020, and I have been proven right about him many times over,” said Congressman Biggs. “However, there is no victory lap because millions of American lives and livelihoods were destroyed thanks to Fauci's insistence on his unscientific opinions. History has already judged Fauci - and will continue to do so in the years to come. The United States should never again fall prey to the lockdown tactics that he and others around him employed and encouraged.” On May 21, 2020, Congressman Biggs and Senator Rand Paul co-authored an op-ed for T he USA Today, entitled, “Anthony Fauci wants America closed until there's nothing to reopen.” They wrote, “But the answer to America’s problems has rarely been the federal government. Our solutions have been in trusting the American people. Freedom allows us to judge the risk and reward and determine a course we think best. If we feel going to a certain retailer, barber shop, restaurant, or some other business is risky, we have the judgment to decide to not go there. If we want to stay home, we can. In the end, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, and others seek to corral our freedom, just as the American people and many of our elected leaders are finding ways to open our society.” In April 2020, Congressman Biggs penned an op-ed for the Washington Examiner, entitled, “Get America back to work.” Biggs wrote, “It’s time for a new approach, one that values and protects all life. We must give hope to the public and set forth a plan to reopen the economy and remove oppressive government restrictions. Right now, the cure is proving worse than the disease itself.” This portion of the article was read on the air at the time by the great Rush Limbaugh. In April 2020, Congressman Biggs was appointed to the Congressional Task Force on Reopening the American Economy, thanks to his relentless efforts to promote freedom from Fauci’s ill-gained advice. Congressman Biggs was also one of the consistent voices arguing to reopen schools during 2020 and 2021. In a February 2021 piece for the Washington Examiner, entitled, “Let parents, not teachers, decide when children go back to school,” he wrote, “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has done a great job frustrating the control freaks and alarmists on the Left. He has held the position that parents should make the choice of whether their child should return to in-person education. Every child in Florida has the opportunity to attend school in-person, full-time. And that is the way it ought to be everywhere in the nation.” ###
