Fauci Gets Brutal News from Sen. Rand Paul, US Attorney Officially Notified By Rachel Emmanuel

Well, it’s taking long enough, but they might finally hold him accountable.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has formally called for an investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington into the testimony provided by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during a May 11, 2021, hearing before the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
In the letter, Paul accuses Fauci of denying funding gain-of-function research — research that alters viruses to make them more deadly in order to better develop defenses against them.
Paul also wrote that Fauci had been dishonest about his views on the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic had its roots in a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China — the so-called “lab leak” theory.
“… [T]o the press he claims to have a dispassionate view on the lab leak hypothesis, and in private he acknowledges gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to his colleagues,” Paul wrote.
“His own colleagues have acknowledged Dr. Fauci’s inconsistency. A congressional hearing, however, is not the place for a public servant to play political games – especially when the health and well-being of American citizens is on the line,” Paul continued.
The move comes amid an ongoing debate over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential involvement of gain-of-function research.
Paul’s request, contained in a letter addressed to Matthew Graves, U.S. attorney for Washington D.C., seeks clarity on statements made by Fauci that have raised concerns about their accuracy.
The letter invokes the potential legal consequences of providing false or misleading information to Congress, citing 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which states, that any person who “makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation” as part of “any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate” is subject to criminal fines and imprisonment of up to five years.
“I warned Dr. Fauci of the criminal implications of lying to Congress and offered him an opportunity to recant his previous statement,” Paul stated in the letter.
“Dr. Fauci’s testimony is inconsistent with facts that have since come to light.”
