Political commentator Kim Iversen this week called for Congress to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci accountable if he lied to the American people about the origins of SARS-CoV-2.
“Fauci definitely committed crimes if he’s lying to Congress,” Iversen said on Monday’s episode of “The Kim Iversen Show.” “He’s lying under oath and he should absolutely be held accountable for that.”
On Jan. 8-9, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will interview Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), about the origins of COVID-19 and the government’s pandemic response.
The interview will take place behind closed doors. However, House interrogators will schedule a later public hearing to take Fauci’s’ sworn testimony.
Fauci led the pandemic response as a lead member of President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser.
Iversen said she expects committee members to “be zoning in on the origins of the virus and China,” including “suspect” actions by Fauci or his associates in blocking document requests from Congress and “flaunting federal records rules” to hide the facts.
“They’re looking for a transparent accounting of what he knew, how he knew, from whom did he know,” she said.
Fauci and his lawyer have delayed his appearance before Congress since the subcommittee requested it in February.
Iversen cited “increasing evidence that seems to point to Fauci having knowledge and covering things up.”
She said of particular interest is Fauci’s role as NIAID director in funding dangerous “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute for Virology.
Quoting Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Iversen said Congress must learn why and how Fauci persuaded scientists to change their minds on a likely lab leak of the coronavirus from the Wuhan lab and rapidly reverse their position in a 2020 article in Nature Medicine, commissioned and edited by Fauci, arguing that a COVID-19 lab origin was “improbable.”
Iversen said Congress must demand answers from Fauci.
