周四，密苏里州联邦参议员乔希·霍利将推出一项法案，禁止联邦官僚接受现金奖励。此前一天，他刚抨击安东尼·福奇博士在新冠疫情期间领取了霍利所称的超过100万美元的奖励。
霍利在周三的参议院听证会上指责福奇利用现有联邦法律中存在的漏洞，而现有法律原本就禁止政府雇员索要现金奖励等报酬。霍利将这项法案命名为《禁止官僚领取现金奖励法案》，旨在封堵这些漏洞。
“任何联邦官僚在任职期间都不应接受现金奖励。这就是我为何要推出立法，禁止联邦雇员接受现金奖励或索要奖项。福奇在数百万人死亡之际中饱私囊，这种情况绝不能再次发生。”霍利在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。

霍利援引公开记录显示，时任美国国立卫生研究院院长的福奇曾利用工作人员为自己索要至少八项现金奖励，其中单笔奖励支票金额就高达90万美元。
这项新法案将禁止联邦雇员领取医学和研究类奖励，同时禁止雇员主动索要这类奖励。法案还将强化现有联邦规定，禁止国立卫生研究院官员利用本人或下属的公务时间索要奖励。
此次立法推出前，霍利在国土安全与政府事务委员会周三的听证会上严厉斥责福奇，期间福奇援引第五修正案超过100次。

“但我知道你为什么这么做，”霍利在谈及福奇拒绝作证时说道，“因为你不想回答问题。因为你做了各种可怕的事情。因为在疫情期间，你中饱私囊……而此时民众正死于疫情。”
“你利用拿着纳税人薪水的联邦雇员为你个人申请并索要现金奖励，总金额超过100万美元，”霍利说道，“你在疫情期间做了这一切，对吗？”
福奇没有回应霍利的问题，而是反复表示：“在律师的建议下，我谨基于宪法第五修正案赋予我的权利，拒绝回答问题。”

霍利随后指出了福奇团队的内部邮件，其中包括前幕僚长格雷格·福尔克斯讨论提名丹·戴维奖的邮件。据霍利透露，这封邮件要求联邦雇员充实福奇提名材料中关于新冠疫情的部分，提供详细描述其疫情应对措施的内容。

“我们正在推进福奇的丹·戴维奖提名，”霍利宣读邮件内容，“我们需要强化新冠相关部分的内容。”
霍利表示，丹·戴维奖的现金奖励为90万美元，并声称福奇利用联邦雇员协助获取该奖项。他进一步指控福奇利用政府工作人员和资源争取至少八项额外现金奖励，包括来自公共服务伙伴关系、阿德尔森奖、史密森尼学会、美国国家医学院以及疾控中心基金会的荣誉。
“事实上，你把你的团队变成了全职申请机器，”霍利说道，“你甚至还写信给他人，问‘你觉得我有可能符合资格吗？’”

Hawley moves to close federal cash prize loopholes after Fauci ‘got rich while millions of people died’
The No Cash Prizes for Bureaucrats Act follows allegations Fauci used staff to solicit over $1M in awards during COVID-19

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is introducing legislation to block federal bureaucrats from accepting cash prizes on Thursday, just a day after laying into Dr. Anthony Fauci for receiving what Hawley said was over $1 million during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hawley accused Fauci during a Wednesday Senate hearing of exploiting loopholes in federal laws that already prohibit government employees from soliciting rewards like cash prizes. Hawley’s bill, dubbed the No Cash Prizes for Bureaucrats Act, would close those loopholes.
“No federal bureaucrat should accept cash prizes while on the job. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to bar federal employees from accepting cash prizes or soliciting awards. Fauci got rich while millions of people died. It can never happen again,” Hawley told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Hawley cited public records showing that Fauci, while director of the National Institutes of Health, used employees to solicit at least eight cash awards for himself, with one award check alone totaling $900,000.
The new legislation would block federal employees from receiving rewards for medicine and research as well as block employees from soliciting such rewards. It would also strengthen existing federal regulations that block NIH officials from using their or a subordinate’s official duty time to solicit rewards.
The bill comes after Hawley thrashed Fauci during a Wednesday hearing with the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, during which Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times.

“But I think I know why you’re doing it,” Hawley said of Fauci’s refusal to testify. “It’s because you don’t want to answer questions. It’s because you did all kinds of terrible things. It’s because during the pandemic, you got rich … while people were dying.”
“You were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you personally, cash prizes totaling over $1 million,” Hawley said. “You did all of that during the pandemic, didn’t you?”
Rather than respond to Hawley’s questions, Fauci repeatedly said, “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.”

Hawley then pointed to what he described as internal emails from Fauci’s staff, including one from former chief of staff Greg Folkers discussing a nomination for the Dan David Prize. According to Hawley, the email asked federal employees to bolster the COVID-19 section of Fauci’s nomination by providing language detailing his pandemic response.

“We’re working on this nomination for the Dan David Award for Fauci,” Hawley read from the email. “We need to beef up the COVID part.”
Hawley said the Dan David Award carried a $900,000 cash prize and claimed Fauci used federal employees to help obtain it. He further accused Fauci of using government staff and resources to pursue at least eight additional cash awards, including honors from the Partnership for Public Service, the Adelson Prize, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Academy of Medicine and the CDC Foundation.
“In fact, you turned your staff into a full-time application machine,” Hawley said. “You actually wrote to people and said, ‘Do you think maybe I’d qualify?’”
