Dr. Anthony Fauci said he is not concerned about the possibility of prosecution related to his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic that could arise in a second administration under former President Donald Trump.

“I don’t know what one would prosecute me for,” Fauci told CNN’s Kasie Hunt. “Figure something out. What are we talking about? I mean I was public health official, a scientist. I played a major role in the development of the vaccine that was responsible for the saving of millions of lives.

“If that’s what you’re accusing me of, then I’m definitely guilty of that,” he added.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci served as both the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical adviser to the president, a role in which he pushed mask mandates and mass vaccination efforts on the public.

Conservatives have long criticized these actions and the daily briefings he delivered as examples of his push for more power.

“I’m not sure what people talk about when they say prosecute — for what?” Fauci said. “I mean there was no crime there. There were just public health officials, like myself and others, who were on the team, who were doing our best to save the lives of people in this country and worldwide.

“I don’t want to be cavalier about it, but I don’t even know what they’re talking about,” he added.
