Kentucky Senator Rand Paul spoke with Fox News about recent speculation that Dr. Anthony Fauci will remain in the public eye after stepping down from his current position. Paul says Fauci sticking around “is very good news for the truth” and he can expect a subpoena.
Watch the clip above. Excerpt below.
SEN. RAND PAUL: I think it’s very good news for the truth. If he’s going to stick around, we’ll wait to see if it happens. But if he’s in public employment, we will subpoena him. He will have to appear and testify under oath. If Republicans take charge of the House or the Senate or both, he will have to testify under oath because a million Americans died. And we want to know about was there a cover–up in trying to suppress any link to the lab in China? I do fully believe this virus, this pandemic that killed 6 million people around the world, leaked from the lab. But I think there was a concerted effort by him and his colleagues to cover this up and make sure it didn’t come to light, that the NIH was funding that lab and that there was reasonable scientific evidence that suggests that it came from the lab. So he’s going to be made to testify under oath. And I hope he sticks around because we do have some questions.
Paul also shared an article on Twitter that said Fauci won’t retire.
“Excellent – because I look forward to ascertaining Fauci’s involvement in the cover-up of the lab origins of COVID — Under Oath!”
