While I’ve been conducting oversight for years, now that we have the documents and Fauci’s government-issued phone, my investigation has only just begun . The phone spans from 2014 to a few days before Fauci left the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We will continue to scour every piece of evidence to deliver the truth to the American people.

Johnson committed to continuing his COVID-19 oversight investigation by reviewing evidence from Fauci's government-issued phone and related documents.

Johnson, still serving as U.S. Senator and PSI chairman in the same federal term, chaired an April 29, 2026 PSI hearing on COVID-19 vaccine safety signals, released an interim majority staff report and related records, and later released additional HHS-produced Fauci email and phone records on August 16, 2026 concerning alleged adverse events, pregnancy-related safety questions, and FDA safety-signal handling. That directly matches the promise to continue pursuing oversight investigations and hearings into COVID-19 vaccine safety signals and alleged vaccine injuries.
