Rand Paul pushes for Fauci indictment before statute of limitations expires
Paul said Fauci should face charges before a five-year deadline expires, citing sworn denials about U.S.-funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
- Sen. Rand Paul publicly warned the Justice Department on Tuesday that it has one week to charge former NIAID director Anthony Fauci for allegedly lying to Congress about gain-of-function research funding.
- During a May 11, 2021, Senate Committee hearing, Fauci forcefully rejected accusations that the National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, telling Paul, "If anybody's lying here, senator, it is you!"
- Oversight Project President Mike Howell recently applauded the indictment of former NIAID adviser David Morens, stating, "It's Fauci that they will blame for one of the worst government catastrophes in history in America."
- While Fauci has denied wrongdoing and remains uncharged, a broad pardon issued by President Joe Biden complicates his legal status, with some analysts suggesting potential challenges.
- The impending May 11 deadline forces the Justice Department to decide quickly on potential charges, as Republican lawmakers argue the move would provide necessary accountability regarding pandemic-era government transparency and decision-making.
