The post is a rhetorical question implying that Anthony Fauci has committed a crime warranting arrest. While it is factually true that Fauci has not been arrested, no criminal charges have ever been filed against him. His former senior adviser David Morens was indicted in April 2026, but Fauci himself has not been charged. Additionally, President Biden issued a preemptive pardon to Fauci on January 19, 2025, and the statute of limitations on the primary criminal referral (for allegedly lying to Congress about gain-of-function research) expired in May 2026.

Anthony Fauci has not been arrested.Multiple news sources from 2025–2026 confirm that Fauci has not been arrested or indicted. His former adviser David Morens was indicted in April 2026, but Fauci himself has faced no criminal charges.

Unsupported
There are grounds for Anthony Fauci to be arrested (implied by the rhetorical question).While some politicians (e.g., Sen. Rand Paul) have called for Fauci's prosecution, no charges have been filed. President Biden issued a preemptive pardon on January 19, 2025, and the statute of limitations on the main criminal referral expired in May 2026. The DOJ has not pursued charges against Fauci.
Caveats
The validity of Biden's preemptive pardon is contested by President Trump, who has declared it null and void, but the Justice Department has not tested that assertion in court. Whether Fauci committed any wrongdoing remains a matter of political debate, not established legal fact.
Community note
Misleading. Anthony Fauci has not been arrested because no criminal charges have been filed against him. The statute of limitations on the main referral expired in May 2026, and he received a preemptive pardon from President Biden in January 2025. He faces no charges.
