Accountability in Government Testimony

There are a couple questions that I have. The first question is,

would people have been saved had he been truthful?

All those people who died, we lost our loved ones.

Would they have survived had he been

truthful and told us what really went down and actually given people

a head start in terms of countering it, in terms of stopping it?

And secondly, you just said it a couple of times,

you're not expecting him to be truthful.

You're expecting him to lie. He's been sticking with these lies for six years.

I mean, at last check, lying to Congress is a felony.

Will there be any accountability for lies?

Yes, and that's one of the risks he has in coming,

is if that he lies during the hearing.

That's a new lie, and the pardon won't cover that.

So it's yet to be known whether he will testify. We hope he testifies.

We hope he tells the truth.

But yes, he will be under oath,

and it will be a crime if he lies to us. So we'll see where it goes.

But there are some very specific evidence that we have now that it

will be very difficult for him to controvert.

And so we'll see if he's willing to come and tell the truth or not.

But it is important, the debate is important, because really,

the Trump administration has stopped gain of function research.

But I have legislation that would stop it permanently,

that would set up a presidential commission to review this dangerous research.

We aren't done with this.

If we want to stop this from happening again, we need to make sure that

there are rules in place that one rogue person,

obsessed with their own power like Anthony Fauci,

never becomes that powerful again and never allows

this kind of dangerous research to go on.
