Sen. Rand Paul Says He Wants Federal Prosecution of Fauci for COVID Cover-Up

Did Dr. Anthony Fauci and others in the federal government mislead the American public about the origins of COVID-19? Sen. Paul believes so.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) says he’s pursuing federal criminal action against Dr. Anthony Fauci for perjury before Congress.

In an American Thought Leaders interview with Jan Jekielek, senior editor with The Epoch Times, Dr. Paul said he’s asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute Dr. Fauci for giving false testimony during multiple congressional hearings.

“We haven’t had a lot of luck,” Dr. Paul said. “Garland is not paying attention to the referral, but (Fauci) did lie to Congress.”

The Epoch Times reached out to Georgetown University, where Dr. Fauci is employed, for comment but did not get a reply by the time of publishing. In July, Dr. Fauci joined the university as a distinguished university professor in its School of Medicineโ€™s Department of Medicine.

Dr. Paul alleges Dr. Fauciโ€”and multiple other parts of the federal governmentโ€”engaged in an “extensive” cover-up of the origin, threat, and potential treatments for COVID-19. The senator said he detailed the two-year misdirection in his book “Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up” published in October.

“Virtually everything they said in private, they said the opposite in the public at the same time,” Dr. Paul said.

As early as February 2020, Dr. Fauci and other scientists convened and discussed their conclusion that the virus’s genetic sequence appeared manipulated in a lab to make it more infectious to humans. They were doubly concerned because they knew the Wuhan, China, lab performed so-called gain of function research.

Furthermore, Dr. Paul alleges many of the scientists involved in the American public health response to COVID were “funding the lab in Wuhan.”

“They actually have a direct conflict of interest because they are the ones that will be culpable,” Dr. Paul said. “Why is (Fauci) so wedded to trying to make you believe it came from the animal kingdom and not the lab? Because he funded the lab.”
