Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci needs to come before Congress and answer to the public about the alleged decision to fund gain-of-function research and the truth behind the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Ultimately, Dr. Fauci is gonna need to come back in and explain why he made this decision,” Paul said during an appearance on Newsmax’s National Report. “There ultimately will be an interview, either voluntarily or involuntarily, if he won’t come.”
