Sen. Rand Paul (I-KY) announced Saturday that he has referred Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice.
Along with a report regarding a February 2020 email exchanged by Fauci, confirming that he knew"scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments," Paul also shared a screenshot posted by the first journalist to obtain the correspondence onto X, formerly known as Twitter.This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie.
"Upon considerable discussion, some of the scientists felt more strongly about this possibility, but two others felt differently. They felt that it was entirely conceivable that this could have evolved naturally even though these mutations have never been seen in a bat virus before," Fauci wrote."This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie," Paul posted to X.
The Senate does not have the ability to bring criminal charges against an individual, so its' only option is to call on the DOJ to launch an investigation.Paul, in May, pressed Fauci on gain-of-function research in Wuhan during a Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing, to which Fauci responded,"I've never lied before Congress."
Fauci formerly served as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Two separate individuals have since replaced him at each respective agency.
