Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) referred Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice this week for allegedly lying under oath about his knowledge of gain-of-function lab research conducted in Wuhan, China.

During a congressional hearing in May 2021, Dr. Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), testified that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” An email later revealed this was not true.
