Rand Paul Subpoenas Fauci After Refusal to Testify on COVID Origins

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has issued a subpoena compelling former top federal health official Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify before Congress, escalating a yearslong clash over the origins of COVID-19 and the government’s pandemic response.

Paul, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the subpoena became necessary after Fauci declined to appear voluntarily—despite previously agreeing to testify.

“Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us that he will not voluntarily testify,” Paul said on X. “Therefore, today I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee.”

Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is expected to appear before the panel in July.

Showdown Over Pandemic Accountability

The subpoena marks a major escalation in the ongoing battle between Fauci and Republican lawmakers, who have pressed for answers about federal funding for virus research and early handling of COVID-19.

Paul said he reached his “breaking point” after months of negotiations and delays.
