Nunes, Grenell Call on DOJ to Prosecute Dr. Fauci for Wuhan Testimony

Dr. Anthony Fauci should face prosecution for testifying under oath before Congress that he did not send taxpayer dollars to Wuhan to conduct gain of function research after his denials were contradicted by the National Institutes of Health, Rep. Devin Nunes said Sunday. 

"Our committee did a year-long investigation and we talked about it back in May, when we put out an official report, so he was clearly on notice then," the California Republican said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo," where he appeared with former acting director of national intelligence Ric Grenell.

But after that, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified twice under grilling by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., that the funding didn't happen.

"That's simply not true," said Nunes. "He's long been on notice, he knows this, and now the question is, is will the Department of Justice do anything about it."

This week, a letter from NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform reveals that EcoHealth, a New York-based non-profit did not comply with a mandated report that would have brought a supplemental review from the agency. 

Grenell agreed that Fauci should be held accountable for his testimony, as he has been "unequivocal in denying this."
"This is a real problem," he said. "He not only doubled down, tripled down, but he promised that unequivocally this wasn't even close and it wasn't a spin. I think this is total deception...we just saw nine Republicans, nine of Devin's colleagues get so outraged at someone not showing up to Congress in the form of Steve Bannon. They should be at the forefront of now protecting Congress' integrity."

He continued that it's "really scary for the United States" if the Attorney General Merrick Garland doesn't prosecute Fauci immediately.
