US EditionRand Paul Urges Trump DOJ to Indict Fauci in Test of Autopen Pardons
KENTUCKY, UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Senator Rand Paul renewed his criminal referral accusing Fauci of perjury amid controversy over Biden’s autopen-signed pardon, raising questions about presidential authority and legal accountability.
- Senator Rand Paul urged the Department of Justice to investigate and potentially prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying under oath, citing a questionable autopen pardon in January 2025.
- Paul's call followed his second criminal referral of Fauci in July 2023 and new reports suggesting President Biden may not have personally authorized the pardon, which was issued via autopen by White House staff.
- Paul condemned Fauci’s congressional testimony on gain-of-function research, pointing out that Fauci’s own emails conflicted with his sworn statements, and argued that this situation raises serious questions regarding the validity and legality of Fauci’s pardon.
- Separately, Paul acknowledged that his opposition contributed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee postponing Mike Waltz's confirmation vote as U.S. ambassador to the UN, with Waltz needing bipartisan support to advance.
- These events suggest ongoing political friction regarding accountability in government and raise questions about executive clemency procedures amid broader concerns about intelligence politicization since 2016.
