Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is intensifying efforts to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci accountable for alleged lies to Congress regarding gain-of-function research and more.
The deadline for the statute of limitations on Fauci’s criminal referral for is Monday. Although the Trump Justice Department, led by former Attorney General Pam Bondi or acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has not issued any public comments regarding potential charges, Paul is committed to maintain the pressure on “the COVID coverup.” He has scheduled a Senate hearing for Wednesday, May 13 at 10 a.m.
On May 6, the Senator called upon the Justice Department to “indict Fauci,” even though former President Joe Biden granted Fauci a broad preemptive pardon on his final night in office, January 19, 2025. The pardon granted by Biden and the expiration of the statute of limitations for Fauci on Monday provide protection for the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to Biden.
Last Wednesday, Paul wrote on X that “David Morens, Dr. Fauci’s top adviser, was indicted, but Fauci himself still walks free.” An hour later, he wrote: “For years, I warned that Fauci and his inner circle buried the truth about Wuhan. Now his closest adviser has been indicted.”
Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) employee, David M. Morens was indicted at the end of last month for “deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19.”
In July 2021, Paul warned Fauci, “it is a crime to lie to Congress, [creating] a felony and a five-year penalty for lying to Congress.” According to the Kentucky Senator, on Wednesday, “The truth is coming,” hinting at an impending revelation as a whistleblower is set to give public testimony regarding “the COVID cover-up.”
Next week I’m holding a hearing with a whistleblower who will testify publicly about the COVID coverup.
Mark your calendars: Wednesday, May 13 at 10am.
The truth is coming.

On May 7, Paul wrote that “While we can all have our beefs with Congress, this isn’t in our hands any longer. I DID the work, investigated, and sent multiple CRIMINAL referrals to the DOJ. Whether he is indicted or not now is not up to Congress. It is up to the DoJ, and no one else.”
In a subsequent post, he asserted, “He lied to Congress about NIH funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan and engaged in the worst cover-up in modern medical history.”
Many are calling for accountability, as Paul accurately reflects this sentiment when he wrote, “The American people want Fauci behind bars.”
