And if you lied to Congress, it\u2019s a felony,\u201d she didn\u2019t press him on that. And the reason this matters is there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest that the U.S. government participated in funding research, modifying coronaviruses that could well have led to COVID-19. And if that\u2019s true, that is stunning and indefensible. We know the Chinese government has enormous culpability, but there\u2019s a real possibility the American government under Dr. Fauci does as well, and that\u2019s what he doesn\u2019t want to address.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
