WASHINGTON (TND)

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Tuesday announced new findings in his research on COVID-19 which he feels may prove Americans were lied to about the disease.

The senator has been aggressively digging into the origins of COVID-19 ever since the pandemic. Earlier this month, he launched a bipartisan investigation to uncover the origins of the disease with Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich.

Dr. Anthony Faucis National Institutes of Health lab, the senator said via X Tuesday, partnered with Wuhan researchers who were engineering a coronavirus since as early as 2018. At least 15 federal agencies allegedly knew of the Wuhan researchers' project and said nothing despite being pressed by several major politicians.

The project, stemming from a grant proposal, proposed inserting a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus to create a novel virus similar to COVID-19, according to an op-ed written by Sen. Paul Tuesday.

Reacting to the news was Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., who exclaimed Fauci should be in prison! New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Chuck Morse added businesses were shut down, students were deprived of their classrooms, and hardworking Americans lost their jobs over the course of the pandemic.

We deserve honest answers, Morse continued.

Fauci has consistently refuted claims he lied about NIH being linked to such research, telling Sen. Paul during a July 2021 hearing the lawmaker does "not know what" he is "talking about."

Sen. Paul's findings are the latest to arise from closer examinations of the pandemic. Watchdog group Open the Books told The National Desk (TND) last month it uncovered pharmaceutical companies had paid hundreds of millions in third-party royalties to government scientists during the pandemic.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice seized over $1.4 billion of COVID relief funds which were stolen during the last three years. At least 3,500 defendants received federal crime charges, which totaled more than $2 billion.

TND reached out to NIH for comment, but did not immediately receive a response. This story will be updated if a response is received.
