Fauci blasts 'unhinged' Rand Paul as he explains he'll be pleading the Fifth Amendment
A new report suggests the FBI and Department of Justice, under the second Trump administration, have intensified investigations into Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists concerning the origins of COVID-19.
Investigators are examining email, phone, and payment records to determine whether government officials attempted to conceal a potential lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Federal prosecutors subpoenaed records related to Fauci following a guilty plea by his former adviser, Dr. David Morens, for concealing federal records.
Despite receiving a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden in January 2025, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during a Senate hearing regarding the pandemic.
The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee subsequently voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress in August after he refused to answer questions.
