Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) weighed in Monday on news that Dr. Anthony Fauci will step down from his government roles in December, promising that Fauci will still testify before Congress.
“Fauci’s resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic,” Paul said in a Monday morning tweet of Fauci, with whom the senator has sparred during congressional hearings on multiple occasions. “He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak.”
Fauci announced on Monday that he would be stepping down as President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases later this year.
