(VIDEO) Rand Paul Speaks to Reporters After Fauci Contempt Resolution Passes, Officially Delivers Letters to Prosecute Fauci to the DOJ

Senator Rand Paul delivered criminal referral letters for Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice after a Senate panel voted 8-5 to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress. Paul stated that Fauci should answer questions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and his alleged lies, especially concerning gain-of-function research and the virus’s origin. The referral bypasses a full Senate vote and goes directly to the DOJ for potential prosecution.
