Niamh Harris – Senator Rand Paul has warned the National Institutes of Health that they should not attempt to destroy any documents relating to or still in the possession of Dr Anthony Fauci as he steps down.
In a letter to the NIH Paul demanded that “all records, e-mails, electronic documents, and data created by or shared with Dr. Fauci” have to be preserved for investigation purposes.
The senator added that the preservation request also includes all records of official business conducted on non official accounts.

Summit News reports: As Fauci announced he is retiring conveniently just before the mid-term elections, Paul wrote “In light of this announcement, I formally request you ensure the preservation of all documents and communications within Dr. Fauci’s possession related to his tenure at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).”
Paul continued, “This information is critical to ensure that Congress has access to information necessary to conduct proper oversight regarding events that took place during Dr. Fauci’s tenure with the agency.”
Paul said that all information “including, but not limited to, NIAID-funded coronavirus research,” should be protected and “This preservation request also includes all records of official business conducted on non official accounts.”

As we highlighted yesterday, Republicans responded to Fauci’s retirement announcement by asserting that his stepping down will not deter them from investigating his role in gain of function research that potentially led to the global COVID pandemic.
No F-ing way, Fauci. Can’t let him pull this bullshit. He lied about his certainty in the “the science” at every phase so he could please his lunatic fan base. His falsehoods were used to fire people- including veterans- from their jobs. He’s the disgusting villain of Covid. https://t.co/Ccp9rHJLRU

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) reiterated this stance, telling Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday that Fauci will likely be spending “a lot of time in front of a congressional committee” unless he were to “seek asylum in some foreign country whose Powerball jackpot is 287 chickens and a goat.”
