Senator Rand Paul has formally reissued a criminal referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci to Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice. This action follows revelations that Fauci's pardon, granted by former President Joe Biden, was signed using an autopen, a device for automatic signature, rather than being personally signed by Biden. The use of the autopen for the pardon was confirmed by a New York Times report, raising questions about the validity of the pardon and prompting renewed calls for Fauci's prosecution. Senator Paul emphasized that the Justice Department has a duty to investigate and prosecute Fauci as it would any ordinary citizen. The referral is part of ongoing efforts by Paul to hold Fauci accountable for actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The autopen pardon has reignited debate over COVID-era accountability and legal scrutiny of Fauci's conduct.
