The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is withholding records related to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s employment, including all copies of his job contracts.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for Fauci’s job descriptions and job contracts, the NIH provided a brief job description and a longer, outdated version. But the agency ignored the request for the contracts.
