Rep. Paulina Luna is calling on state attorneys general to pursue charges against former NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to a report and video highlighted by The Gateway Pundit. The demand centers on allegations that Fauci was connected to funding for COVID-related research at laboratories in Wuhan before the pandemic.
The report frames the matter as a potential case involving "crimes against humanity" and points to claimed USAID-backed research funding as the basis for that argument. In the available snippet, the accusations are presented as part of a broader push to hold Fauci legally accountable for decisions tied to pandemic-era research oversight.
Fauci, who became one of the most recognizable public health officials during the COVID-19 crisis, has long faced criticism from political opponents over the origins of the virus and the US role in supporting international research. Luna’s latest call appears to escalate that criticism by urging state-level legal action rather than limiting the dispute to congressional or public debate.
Based on the trimmed article excerpt, no response from Fauci is included, and the snippet does not provide evidence beyond the allegations summarized in the report. The story is likely to add to ongoing political battles over COVID-19, Wuhan lab scrutiny, and the role of US agencies in overseas research funding.
