Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing on the pandemic. The tense moments happened during Tuesday\u2019s Senate Health Committee hearing on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Paul asserted Fauci lied to congress and questioned whether he was aware it was a crime to do so. Paul cited Fauci\u2019s testimony earlier this year when he claimed there was no known association between the release of COVID-19 into the human population and an NIH grant for a non-profit group linked to the Wuhan lab.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re saying they are gain of function viruses because they were animal viruses that became more transmissible in human and you funded it,\u201d he asserted. \u201cYou won\u2019t admit the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MIT biologist Kevin Esvelt reviewed this paper that was published with financial assistance from Dr. Fauci\u2019s NIH\/NIAID and concluded \u201ccertain techniques that the researchers used seemed to meet the definition of gain-of-function\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul\/status\/1417506039713390593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fauci responded by saying, \u201cYou are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals. I totally resent that and if anyone is lying here, it\u2019s you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator went on to add Fauci will be held accountable for funding the Wuhan lab and lying about it.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/violent-crime-on-the-rise-in-san-diego-calif\/\">Violent Crime On The Rise In San Diego, Calif.<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
