Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that a COVID-19 whistleblower who will testify publicly is an “active CIA employee who will testify that the intelligence community has covered up the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic for years,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reports.

“I think this whistleblower will help to confirm that this was known, has been known for a long time, and that when the scientists at the CIA looked at this, they discovered or they concluded that the virus had come from the lab,” Paul said, according to Melugin.

“What we’re going to find is that the cover up is a real thing, that there are members of the community, the intelligence community, that still don’t want the truth to come out. I’ve said the government was involved not only in funding this research, but then in trying to obscure the truth. And the truth is the US government funded research in Wuhan, China, and that research led to a virus that escaped, escaped the lab, in all likelihood accidentally,” he continued.

“This is a brave person who’s spent a career in the CIA,” Paul said about the whistleblower.

“I don’t know how much can be revealed, but is actually famous within the community for being someone who, behind the scenes, has really helped our country,” he added.

Last week, Paul had revived his push to indict former White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci over claims that the health expert lied under oath about funding research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China. That was ahead of a Monday deadline when the statute of limitations would take effect.

With that date now hit and no action taken, the senator says he’ll be hearing whistleblower testimony in the Senate Homeland Security committee. In a release, Paul’s office says the testimony will “expose the cover-up over the origins of COVID-19 and the lack of transparency from the federal government.”

Paul has been adamant that the pandemic policies guided by Fauci were a mistake the country shouldn’t repeat.

“This isn’t just looking back in the rearview mirror just for the h*** of it,” Paul said. “This is to make sure we actually learn something and don’t do this kind of lockdown mentality again.”

“The DOJ may never act, but the American people know the truth: Fauci misled and defrauded this country. I won’t stop uncovering the truth around the great COVID cover-up. That’s why I will have a whistleblower testify before my committee this Wednesday,” Paul said.

Fox News shared further:

The Biden pardon and Fauci’s statute of limitations expiration Monday shields the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to Biden, but Morens was indicted late last month for having “deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19.”

“For years, I warned that Fauci and his inner circle buried the truth about Wuhan,” Paul wrote Wednesday on X. “Now his closest adviser has been indicted.

“Fauci lied to Congress under oath. The statute of limitations expires in 5 days. Will the DOJ finally indict Fauci?”

The Trump Justice Department under former Attorney General Pam Bondi or acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has made no public statements about bringing charges.

“While we can all have our beefs with Congress, this isn’t in our hands any longer,” Paul wrote Thursday on X. “I DID the work, investigated, and sent multiple CRIMINAL referrals to the DOJ.

“Whether he is indicted or not now is not up to Congress. It is up to the DoJ, and no one else.”

“He lied to Congress about NIH funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan and engaged in the worst cover-up in modern medical history,” Paul added in another X post. “The American people want Fauci behind bars.”
