CNN and MSNBC both interview Fauci and neither asks about damning COVID-19 documents

The Daily Wire reports, "Although Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on both CNN and MSNBC on Tuesday, neither network took the opportunity to ask him about controversial documents that appear to show that he lied under oath about U.S. funding of China’s coronavirus research. Instead, they asked Fauci to focus on what they consider the greatest spreaders of COVID-19: unmasked schoolchildren, unmasked sports fans, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), and churches.

In May, Dr. Fauci told Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 'has not ever, and does not now, fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'

But as The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti reported, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from The Intercept found 'evidence that the NIH issued a ‘bat coronavirus grant’ to a group called the EcoHealth Alliance for ‘$3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans.’ That seems to refute Fauci’s testimony.

Lying to Congress is 'a felony punishable by five years in jail. We’ve referred it to the Department of Justice,' said Senator Paul on 'Hannity' Tuesday night, adding that 'I don’t think Biden’s Department of Justice will do anything with it.'

Neither CNN nor MSNBC mentioned the documents during the interviews with Fauci."
