Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky continues to press Dr. Anthony Fauci for answers on the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) gain-of-function research funding.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained Paulโs questions for the record following up on Fauciโs dramatic Jan. 11 testimony to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
Paul submitted 11 "yes or no" questions for Fauci to answer in a letter to Senate HELP Committee chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., and ranking member Richard Burr, R-N.C, last week.
"The American people deserve to know how this pandemic started, to know if the NIH funded dangerous gain-of-function research that may have caused this pandemic, and to remove from office anyone, such as Dr. Fauci, who let this happen," Paul told Fox News Digital in a Monday email.
