U.S. Senator Rand Paul and White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci sparred over COVID-19's origin at a hearing of Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Tuesday in Washington D.C.
Republican senator Rand Paul accused Fauci of lying before the Congress in May when he denied that the National Institutes of Health funded so-called "gain of function" research at a lab in China's Wuhan, a charge that was acutely fired back by Fauci.
