'Constitution. Did David Morin's Ever Provide You With…' — C-SPAN

constitution. Did David Morin's ever provide you with documents outside of those two ways that would violate NIH policy for for your compliance on the advice of counsel. I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Now let's look at two other communications. You emailed David Morin's on January 26th, 2020 quote, it is important that I speak with you tonight. Please call me at home. This is part of exhibit two that you have in part of you. This email sent the same day, the exact same day you write in an internal document quote, now we know the market was not the source. It was the amplifier unquote. Would you call the origins of COVID-19 a substantive issue? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Did you discuss COVID-19 origins with demerants on this phone on this phone call? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Now let's take a closer look at the last time you testified before Congress. This is part of what you have in front of you is exhibit four, which is part of the record in June, 2024. You testified to Dr. Moran's quote was not in the advisor to me on Institute policy or other substantive issues. Furthermore, his office is located in a different building from that of the NIAID director unquote. Is that still your testimony today? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. So today under oath, your testimony remains that Dr. Moran's was not invited to you on Institute policy or substantive matters. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Do you agree that you too were discussing a substantive issue? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Do you agree that you too were discussing a substantive issue? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. If documentary evidence establishes that Dr. Moran's advise you regarding eco health Alliance, COVID origins or grant policy, then your June, 2024 testimony would have been inaccurate. Correct. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Is there any document in your possession today that would contradict your prior congressional testimony? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Have you deleted, destroyed or instructed anyone to destroy records after learning Congress and investigating these matters? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Are you aware of anybody who did? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. As you know, Dr. Moran's don't face his charges related to destroying records while you distance yourself from him. Is that fair to a decades long friend? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. When is the last time you spoke to him? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. In high hindsight, are you disappointed how you handled COVID? Do you have any regrets? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. Dr. Fauci, I want to close with this. Here's how you impacted my family and people close to me. I have daughters with children. You can't imagine the questions they had around vaccines for their kids and themselves and the pressure, the unbelievable pressure to make the right decision for their health. I can tell you pregnant women who worked with me were so scared because every time they went to the doctor, they were told something different about taking the vaccine and new causes. Imagine being a mom trying to protect their kids or an expected mother trying to figure out what to do. Every three weeks, a doctor tells you a new set of guidance on a vaccine. The haphazard information you released and pushed on the American people with little research is appalling and why there are so little, there's, there's so much distrust in our institutions today. That trust is crucial to public health and you more than any person or event in my lifetime have destroyed that trust for millions of Americans. You lied to hundreds of millions of people amid the worst public health crisis in a suturing. You failed to follow your own guidance. You forced people to watch their loved ones die alone over the phone. It's disgusting. Destroyed the federal government's credibility when it comes to public health. We have entire generations of Americans who rightfully so do not trust our institution to keep people safe because of you. You've destroyed decades of progress and lifetimes of work because you wanted to fuel your own ego and be the center of attention. What would you do differently knowing what you know today, Dr. Fauci? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution. All the evidence is right here and you still can't bring yourself to tell the truth or apologize because you received an auto pin pardon from a staffer in the Biden White House. If we have another pandemic tomorrow, millions could die because of what you did. What you did to make Americans lose trust in their government when it comes to medicine and health care. How many families have you apologized to had to watch their loved ones die alone? You breached up public trust and now you're hiding behind a fraudulent pardon. Your legacy will not be as a man who has saved American from COVID, but as a man to destroy the public trust in America's public health institutions in exchange for five minutes of fame. This is how history will remember you. I yield back. Senator Kim.
