Reports that the Department of Energy concluded that a “lab leak” in China may have caused the COVID-19 outbreak are putting new pressure on former coronavirus czar Dr. Anthony Fauci to he knew what he knew about the pandemic and the lab funding involved.
In a new policy announcement previewed for Secrets Tuesday, House COVID Committee Special Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA.) said she is seeking information about the lab from Fauci, who recently stepped down as chief medical advisor to the White House and as director. of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
In the new announcement on social media, Greene said: “Dr. Fauci needs to be held accountable. He has a lot of answers to give. He needs to stop lying. There needs to be an investigation and China needs to pay.”
Over the past few years, there have been several theories about how and where the virus that killed millions began and whether agencies under Fauci funded the labs in the scandal.

House Republicans have pledged to investigate the crisis and have vowed to bring Fauci to testify before the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic on which Greene serves.
In his announcement, made up of the committee hearing and media clips, Greene also highlighted concerns raised by other lawmakers, notably Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), about Fauci’s involvement with an alleged laboratory in Wuhan that will be the focus of the hearings.
“He was very involved in this gain of function research. He was involved in the grants that went to a third party that paid for it,” he said, adding: “Dr. Fauci is responsible for all of this. He create the gain of function. He gave it to China. They created the bioweapon, which is COVID-19. And it broke the world.”
