Overview

  • Anthony Fauci was not charged by Monday’s five-year deadline tied to his 2021 Senate testimony about U.S. funding of research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
  • The New York Post reported that Justice Department officials are considering other potential counts based on separate testimony or more recent conduct, which could keep the case alive.
  • Sen. Rand Paul, who drove the countdown and filed criminal referrals, plans a Senate hearing Wednesday featuring a self-described COVID cover-up whistleblower.
  • A reported pardon signed in Joe Biden’s name with an autopen complicates any federal case, and the U.S. Pardon Attorney has said his office cannot support the validity of autopen pardons without further fact-finding.
  • Former Fauci adviser David Morens was indicted last month on conspiracy and records charges for allegedly evading federal records laws, a development Paul cites as fresh grounds for further action.
