Dr. Fauci is subpoenaed after refusing to testify on COVID origins

Story by Chase Hope • 1h

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was subpoenaed by Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul.

Paul accused Fauci of dodging a previous commitment to testify before a Senate committee chaired by the Kentucky libertarian.

'Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us that he will not voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so,' Paul wrote on X on Monday.

'Therefore, today we have issued a subpoena for him to publicly testify.' Paul said later Fauci would testify in July.

The subpoena is the latest in a long string of clashes between Paul and Fauci.

As far back as 2021, Paul accused Fauci in a Senate hearing of providing funding for a Chinese laboratory, which intelligence reports have revealed may have originated the COVID pandemic.

Fauci denied the accusations, but Paul believes the evidence shows otherwise and has pushed for an indictment of Fauci, alleging that he lied to Congress under oath.

In May, Paul warned in a social media post that the statute of limitations for Fauci's alleged misdeed was about to expire. Fauci has not been indicted by Trump's Justice Department.
