"The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously, protested CIA Director of Public Affairs Liz Lyons in a statement to Fox News."
"Lyons continued, This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous."
"Paul has accused former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci of being involved in a cover-up of the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic accusations Fauci has denied. The DOJ may never act, but the American people know the truth: Fauci misled and defrauded this country, said Paul in a social media post this week."
"CIA whistleblower James Erdman III accused Fauci of meddling in the agency's investigation into the Covid-19 pandemic, Wednesday, alleging that Fauci worked to sabotage the theory that the virus was a lab leak."
The CIA criticized Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security Committee for subpoenaing a CIA agent to testify about an alleged government COVID-19 cover-up. The CIA said the committee acted in bad faith by issuing the subpoena for testimony without notifying the agency, even though it had already obtained closed-door testimony from the same individual. The CIA characterized the witness appearance as a response to the subpoena rather than a whistleblower effort to pursue truth. The CIA also stated that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak and that efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous. Paul accused Anthony Fauci of misleading the public about the pandemic’s origins, and Fauci denied involvement in any cover-up.
