Following the news of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s announcement that he would resign in December, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) weighed in.
The Daily Wire reports:
“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.
“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” said Fauci, who has drawn the ire of many Americans for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, his discussions of vaccines, lockdowns, and the origins of the pandemic.
Fauci emphasized that he is “not retiring,” promising to use his knowledge to “advance science and public health.”
