Transparency advocates are calling for the release of information pertaining to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s position at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.com, Adam Andrzejewski, said the NIH is hiding information, particularly Fauci’s conflict of interest documents and how taxpayer money is spent on things such as the National Institutes of Health director’s salary.

“There is a multilayered strategy, funded by taxpayers, to keep taxpayers in the dark about how NIH is spending taxpayer money,” Andrzejewski told Epoch TV’s American Thought Leaders.

Andrzejewski’s organization is seeking greater transparency regarding Fauci’s position and filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Jan. 28, 2021, to discover what his current job description includes and what arrangements have been made pertaining to confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and economic interest disclosure.

The NIH responded to the FOIA request, producing 51 pages of records, but did not include much of the information requested, spurring a lawsuit filed in federal court. Following U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta’s orders to find a solution, an agreement to produce 300 pages a month was reached.

Thus far, “virtually nothing of any value” has been produced, Andrzejewski noted, saying some pages have been largely redacted.

Andrzejewski told the Epoch Times he expects the NIH will produce waivers for conflicts of interest, including one regarding Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, the chief bioethics official at the NIH.

“We shouldn’t be having to engage in expensive litigation to open the books on Dr. Anthony Fauci or even to call for a nice repository of all the ethical studies from his wife, Christine Grady,” Andrzejewski said. “All of this should be opened up.”

Andrzejewski added that he expects endless oversight investigations of Fauci and his involvement in the government’s COVID-19 response should Republicans take control of Congress come November.

“Right now, they should get out in front of all of it, and just open the books on everything, so the politicians, the pundits, the media, the people, so we can see how the sausage was made from A to Z,” Andrzejewski added.

The NIH did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
