“That’s why we ended up referring Fauci again this week to the Department of Justice for prosecution for lying to Congress,” Rand Paul revealed.

Paul also pointed to an “exchange of emails between Anthony Fauci and half a dozen prominent international virologists, and these emails go back and forth.”

“These virologists from around the world are saying they’re looking at the genetic sequence of COVID-19, and they find that there are some striking, strikingly unusual characteristics of it that make it look like it’s been manipulated in the lab,” he said.

“And this band of close virologists that are his close buddies–and these are all people who have been proponents previously of gain of function research, creating viruses that don’t occur in nature to experimentation — they all tell him it looks manipulative,” he added, explaining that they then had a phone call discussing it on February 1, 2020.
