Dr. Fauci has finally lost his Government-funded security detail.
But you might be most surprised he had one at all, racking up $15 million in Secret Service Protection just since he retired in 2022!
That’s a big chunk of taxpayer change!
But now it’s all winding down:
BREAKING: Dr. Anthony Fauci is no longer receiving a security detail from the U.S. Marshals.

CBS Austin confirms not only has he received $15 million in Secret Service protection but he’s also been provided with a private chauffeur:
The head of America’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired in 2022, but he’s still received $15 million in Secret Service protection.
Open the Books Deputy Public Policy Editor Rachel O’Brien says that it is unclear why Fauci gets a private chauffeur and a U.S. Marshals security detail.

It all comes from a “memorandum of understanding” between the U.S. Marshals and the Department of Health and Human Services which was first obtained by DailyMail.com and can be viewed here: https://www.openthebooks.com/assets/1/6/2024-USMS-000194_-_FINAL.pdf
Here’s more from the Daily Mail, which reports Dr. Fauci has now been seen recently with private security:
Dr. Anthony Fauci is no longer getting a taxpayer-funded security detail and SUVs after the U.S. Marshals Service quietly dropped his nearly two-year $15 million deal.
Despite retiring from his $480,000-a-year government job in December 2022, the nation’s top COVID doctor received a security detail for almost two years.
During a publicity tour to promote his new book this summer, 83-year-old Fauci said he was scared ‘deep down, that there’s a possibility that somebody’s gonna kill me.’
Dr. Fauci, who has an estimated $11 million net worth, was constantly surrounded by U.S. Marshals at the time whether he was at home or going to TV studios to film interviews.
That cost taxpayers $15 million in total, a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. Marshals and the Department of Health and Human Services obtained by DailyMail.com first revealed.
That taxpayer-funded security arrangement quietly ended on September 30, 2024, the documents show, days before the election.
Trump teased on the campaign trail that he would be trimming down the ‘bloated’ federal government that spends billions on unnecessary wast, and Fauci’s detail was bound to be high on that list.
He created a new agency, DOGE, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy who have been tasked to do just that.
ADVERTISEMENTExclusive photos taken of Fauci at his residence over the weekend confirms that his taxpayer-funded detail appears to have been disbanded.
And instead of the huge group U.S. Marshals that were spotted at his home earlier this year, a what appeared to be several private security bodyguards were seen instead.
Over the summer, there were at least six U.S. Marshals with a fleet of vehicles parked in Fauci’s neighborhood.
The agents were ready for whenever he wanted to leave his property – which according to real estate websites is worth around $2.2 million.
Their Marshals pin badges were clearly visible, and they were on call all times of day for when he needed to travel.
His more recent sightings reveal a much slimmer security operation.
They huddled with Fauci after an outing before departing in a white SUV.
