Hold Dr. Fauci accountable for lying about COVID-19

To: Attorney General Merrick Garland

US Department of Justice/950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW/Washington, DC 20530-0001

We are requesting that Dr. Anthony S. Fauci is investigated, and if found guilty, criminally charged for lying to the Senate during testimony, in which he stated the National Institutes of Health never funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab. Clear evidence shows that on Feb. 1, 2020 Fauci sent an email to the deputy director of the NIAID, Dr. Hugh Auchincloss. The email was titled IMPORTANT and he included an attachment titled, Baric, Shi et al — Nature medicine — SARS Gain of Function.pdf which is clear evidence that the research was indeed dangerous gain-of-function. If found guilty, we are also requesting that Fauci is removed from his position as the Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden and cease serving in any advisory capacity in which he provides medical advice or recommendations to the American public.
Anthony S. Fauci appears to have placed himself in a conflict of interest due to his past position at the NIH which in part funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Recently the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Report Minority Staff concluded that based on the  preponderance of available information; the  documented efforts to obfuscate, hide, and  destroy evidence; and the lack of physical  evidence to the contrary; that SARS-CoV-2  was accidentally released from a Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory sometime prior to September 12, 2019. The virus, which may be natural in origin or the result of genetic  manipulation, was likely collected in the  identified cave in Yunnan province, PRC,  sometime between 2012 and 2015. Its  release was due to poor lab safety standards  and practices, exacerbated by dangerous  gain-of-function research being conducted  at  inadequate biosafety levels, including BSL-2.  The virus was then spread throughout central  Wuhan, likely via the Wuhan Metro, in the  weeks prior to the Military World Games.  Those games became an international vector,  spreading the virus to multiple continents  around the world.
