Republican Rand Paul demands perjury probe into Fauci’s ‘lie’ under oath that COVID did not come from the Wuhan lab

  • Paul accuses Fauci of committing perjury during his testimony before a Senate committee in 2021
  • The senator has also made an ‘official criminal referral’ to AG Merrick Garland
  • The Department of Justice has not responded to Paul’s requestย 

Republican Sen.ย Rand Paulย is recommending the top prosecutor in Washington, D.C., pursue an investigation and possible criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci for allegedly lying under oath about COVID-19 origins.

Paul sent a letter to D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves Tuesday, demanding an investigation into Fauci for allegedly committing perjury during a congressional hearing in 2021 when he said that COVID did not come from a Chinese lab.

‘Dr. Fauci testified that ‘the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of function research in theย Wuhanย Institute of Virology.’ In a subsequent hearing, I warned Dr. Fauci of the criminal implications of lying toย Congressย and offered him an opportunity to recant his previous statements,’ writes Paul in the letter exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

‘In response, Dr. Fauci stated that he had ‘never lied before the Congress’ and ‘d[id] not retract that statement.’ Dr. Fauci’s testimony is inconsistent with facts that have since come to light,’ the senator continues.

The move comes just weeks after he submitted an ‘official criminal referral’ to the Department of Justice. An aide to Paul confirmed to DailyMail.com that the DOJ never responded.

Perjury is a federal offense that carries up to five years in prison.

‘Before Congress, Dr. Fauci denied funding gain-of-function research, to the press he claims to have a dispassionate view on the lab leak hypothesis, and in private he acknowledges gain-of-function research at WIV to his colleaguesย  His own colleagues have acknowledged Dr. Fauci’s inconsistency,’ continues Paul in the letter to Graves.ย 

‘A congressional hearing, however, is not the place for a public servant to play political games โ€“ especially when the health and well-being of American citizens is on the line.’
