Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview that he plans to use his new leadership position on a key Senate national security committee to hold accountable Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for his actions at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic almost five years ago.
Paul, the incoming chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said his plan is to start with a sweep of subpoenas for documents that drill into the origins of the virus and the degree to which Fauci and others at the National Institutes of Health were involved in funding possibly dangerous viral research in China.
Even though President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees to the NIH and several other federal public health agencies share Paul’s enthusiasm for reform, Paul said he intends to use the subpoena power to elicit details from career government employee scientists who have been resisting congressional oversight of pandemic-era decisions.
“They have resisted for three years, and I’m not going to wait around another year to see if they start responding,” Paul told the Washington Examiner.

Hopefully he'll gain more headway on these bio-weapons labs than did Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov.
