Hawley moves to close federal cash prize loopholes after Fauci 'got rich while millions of people died'

Senator Josh Hawley introduced legislation to restrict federal employees from accepting cash prizes. Hawley stated that Anthony Fauci received over $1 million in awards while serving as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The bill would close what Hawley characterized as loopholes in federal ethics rules governing prize acceptance by government employees. Hawley did not provide documentation of the specific prizes or their sources in publicly available statements about the legislation.
