'I Think I Know in My State People…' — C-SPAN

I think I know in my state people have been asking questions about Dr. Fauci for years. So Dr. Fauci, your entries made clear that you love being a hero, a celebrity, and having the eyes of the world upon you. You loved every newspaper profile, every photo shoot, every fancy dinner with the elites. To many Americans who lost family members, who lost trust in our federal government, you're not a hero. Unfortunately, you're a villain. You made yourself the story and abandoned the American people to serve your own ego. To begin, I'd like to talk about your relationship with David Marens. He was the senior advisor in the NIAID, Office of the Director, your office, for 16 years. He was your friend. He was a frequent guest at your house. You reportedly co-offered over 50 scientific articles with him. You turned to him first right after COVID-19 first occurred. Earlier this year, the Department of Justice charged him with conspiracy against the United States. In addition to other charges as part of conspiracy to conceal information and falsify records to suppress alternative theories about the origins of COVID-19. Now, you've publicly take this man to the curb saying, "Dr. Marens was not an advisor to me on institute policy or other substantive issues." So let's start with the use of personal Gmail accounts and David Marens' relationship with Peter Dasek. David Marens tells Peter Dasek, president of Equal Alliance, and you've got this in front of you, it's exhibit one, and it's in the record as part of this. It says, "P.S., I forgot to say that there is no worry about FOIA. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or hand it to him at work or as house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble." Dr. Falshek, did Dr. Marens' relationship with Peter Dasek concern you? Yes or no? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
