Republican-led congressional scrutiny intensified in late July 2026 when Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during Senate Homeland Security Committee testimony on COVID-19 origins, gain-of-function research funding, and pandemic guidance. The panel voted on August 6 to refer him for contempt of Congress, with Sen. Rand Paul directing the matter toward the Justice Department. Multiple Republican state attorneys general, starting with Florida’s James Uthmeier, opened parallel investigations into potential fraud, perjury, or related offenses; Louisiana and others joined, issuing subpoenas. These state probes are unaffected by the prior federal pardon. Traders appear to weigh the accelerating state-level momentum and contempt referral against legal hurdles, producing the current 62.5% implied probability that charges will be filed by year-end.
