Over the weekend, Sen. Paul did precisely that, following through on his word.
Paul’s criminal referral to the Department of Justice
The Kentucky senator was not bluffing when he announced his plans to direct a criminal referral to the Justice Department. Last week, Paul urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to probe Fauci on a criminal level.
Due to the connection between NIH funds, the EcoHealth Alliance, and a Wuhan lab conducting gain of function research, Paul maintained that Fauci lied before Congress. Therefore, the senator believes it is appropriate for Garland to criminally review Fauci and his congressional testimony.
Surging tension between Paul, Fauci
Sen. Paul and Tony Fauci have butted heads on numerous occasions.
The Republican lawmaker has slammed Fauci for ignoring natural immunity science and getting multiple details wrong about COVID. Ultimately, Paul maintains that Fauci is a dishonest individual with an agenda outside of sharing unbiased details on COVID.
During Fauci’s latest congressional testimony, he displayed visible irritation towards Sen. Paul. Fauci furthermore made it known that he “resents” Paul’s assertions that the NIH did, in fact, fund gain of function research.
