Overview
- Sen. Rand Paul made Dr. Anthony Fauci’s 2020 diaries public Thursday, releasing entries that describe Fauci consoling and advising Katie Miller by phone during the height of the pandemic.
- The diary passages report repeated phone contact and direct medical guidance for Miller during her pregnancy, assistance after her husband’s COVID diagnosis, and help during a newborn health scare.
- Reporters found that later versions of the released files censored Katie and Stephen Miller’s names more than a dozen times, prompting scrutiny of who edited the documents and why.
- Katie Miller has publicly called for Fauci’s imprisonment and rejected a federal pardon while telling reporters the exchanges were purely professional and intentionally cordial.
- Coverage is splitting along partisan lines with outlets emphasizing either the Millers’ private reliance on Fauci or the redaction and release process, and there are no reported legal actions tied to the disclosures so far.
