Rep. Jim Jordan said he will launch an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci if Republicans win the House in the 2022 elections.
“Yes. Yes, we definitely are,” the Ohio Republican answered when asked by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo if he was going to investigate Fauci. “If the American people put us back in charge, we are definitely going to do this, because we now know, without a doubt, that Dr. Fauci knew on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 that this thing came from a lab.”

“The top scientists in the country were saying it came from a lab. One scientist says we got the notes now from the conference call on Feb. 1. One scientist says, ‘I don’t see how this can happen in nature, but it would be easy to do in a lab,’” he continued.
The comments from Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, come following the release of a report indicating that U.S. and British scientists initially believed that the coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan but were not transparent about the suspicion out of concern for “international harmony.”
Several emails between Fauci and his colleagues reveal that many of the scientists were leaning toward the possibility of a lab leak origin for the virus based on it appearing to be “engineered” and not appearing consistent with “evolutionary theory.”

“We just learned this last week,” Jordan continued. “The two doctors who were most adamant that this thing came from a lab early on: One is Dr. Kristian Andersen. On Jan. 31, 2020, he says this to Dr. Fauci in an email: ‘Virus looks engineered. Virus not consistent with evolutionary theory.’ So, he knew it came from a lab.”
