Anthony Fauci is subpoenaed after refusing to testify on COVID origins | 23 June 2026 | Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was subpoenaed by Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul. Paul accused Fauci of dodging a previous commitment to testify before a Senate committee chaired by the Kentucky libertarian. “Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us that he will not voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so,” Paul wrote on X on Monday. ‘Therefore, today we have issued a subpoena for him to publicly testify.’ Paul said later Fauci would testify in July… Controversy surrounding COVID origins was fueled earlier this year by congressional testimony from CIA agent James Erdman, as previously reported by the Daily Mail.
