Reelected Rand Paul promises to investigate Fauci if GOP takes Senate

Published November 9, 2022 12:00am ET



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has vowed to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if he succeeds as next chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, as is likely if Republicans take the Senate.

After cruising to reelection Tuesday, Paul, who’s long feuded with Fauci in congressional hearings, said he plans to subpoena him for records regarding funding the National Institutes of Health provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a site that has been at the center of a theory that COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak.
