Rand Paul Reissues Criminal Referral of Anthony Fauci

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has reissued a criminal referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice, announced on Monday following a New York Times report that White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients approved Fauci’s pardon. This renewed push seeks prosecution over Fauci’s testimony on NIH-funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, underscoring Paul’s relentless pursuit of accountability.

Previously, Paul had referred Fauci to the DOJ for prosecution based on his 2021 congressional testimony, which allegedly downplayed the NIH’s involvement in risky viral experiments linked to the COVID-19 origins. The latest referral, triggered by the pardon revelation, intensifies scrutiny on Fauci’s actions and raises questions about political protections shielding him from legal consequences.

Watch:

Thegatewaypundit.com reports: As The Gateway Pundit reported, the New York Times also reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal and confirmed that Fauci’s pardon was not approved by Biden. Rather, “White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints actually approved pardons for Dr. Fauci and others on January 19,” they report.

“Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed,” the Times reported.

Joe Biden told the New York Times that he “orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term” and lashed out at President Trump as a “liar” for claiming the autopen was used without his authorization.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) responded to the news on X this morning:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Paul said in January that his investigation into Fauci would continue and that he “will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed.”

Hopefully Pam Bondi’s DOJ will finally do something about this.
