WASHINGTON D.C. — Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ), issued the following statement after introducing a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that Congress should issue a subpoena to Dr. Anthony Fauci and reduce his salary to zero.

“Dr. Anthony Fauci has repeatedly lied to Congress and the American people throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Fauci testified under oath before the United States Senate that the National Institutes of Health has not funded gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology yet a report by Project Veritas proves that Dr. Fauci did, in fact, fund research in Wuhan, China and at several sites across the United States.

Dr. Fauci has given contrary advice regarding the source of the virus, the transmissibility of the virus, the virulence of the virus, the efficacy of masks and vaccines, the efficacy of social distancing, and has demeaned anyone in the public health community that disagrees with him.  Dr. Fauci has continuously and deliberately misled the public at every turn.

My resolution calls on Congress to subpoena Dr. Fauci to investigate the extent of any corrupt activities he may be party to regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including funding gain of function research, as well as his numerous lies, deception, and misinformation provided to the United States Congress and the American people throughout the pandemic

My resolution also demands that the Speaker of the House provide expeditious consideration of legislation that reduces Dr. Fauci’s salary to zero.  Dr. Fauci needs to be held accountable for his repeated lies, and my resolution does exactly that,” concluded Rep. Paul Gosar.
