WASHINGTON D.C. — House conservatives have seen enough waiting. In a fiery push for accountability, Republicans are urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to stop dragging her feet and start prosecuting the individuals they believe “weaponized” the government against President Donald Trump and the American people.
The Target List
The demands are specific and severe. Republicans want federal criminal charges brought against a list of high-profile targets, accusing them of everything from lying to Congress to harboring illegal aliens.
At the top of the list? Dr. Anthony Fauci and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“These Republicans want Dr. Anthony Fauci and New York Attorney General Letitia James imprisoned for what they see as politically motivated efforts to undermine Trump,” reports confirm.
[Visual: The GOP’s “Most Wanted” for Prosecution]
Dr. Anthony Fauci: Perjury / Lying to Congress
Letitia James: Political Persecution of Trump
Democratic Mayors: Harboring Unauthorized Immigrants
Biden Bureaucrats: Wasting Taxpayer Money on “Woke” Agendas
Rand Paul vs. Fauci: “Five Years in Prison”
Leading the charge against the former NIAID director is Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who has formally referred Fauci to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation.
The accusation is simple: Perjury.
In 2021, Fauci testified under oath that the U.S. “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
However, Sen. Paul points to newly released emails and a Government Accountability Office (GAO) determination that contradicts this claim.
The Evidence: An email from Feb 1, 2020, shows Fauci acknowledging that “scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments.”
The Funding: The GAO determined last month that the Wuhan Institute did receive NIH funding.
“I’ve referred Anthony Fauci to the DOJ (again) for lying to Congress,” Paul tweeted. “Likely nothing more conclusive than catching a liar lying with his own words!”
Paul stated that Fauci deserves a five-year prison sentence, citing the devastation of the pandemic and the incorrect advice given to the American public.
Trump Takes Action
While Congress pushes for prosecution, President Trump is using his executive power to ensure the “dangerous” science stops. Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting government financing for gain-of-function research, fulfilling a campaign promise to end the practice believed to be at the core of the COVID-19 lab breach.
Pressure on Bondi
The pressure is now squarely on Attorney General Pam Bondi. House Republicans have voiced frustration not only with the lack of movement on Fauci and James but also with the “tardy release” of the Jeffrey Epstein materials.
Conservatives are also demanding action against Democratic mayors who provide shelter to unauthorized immigrants and Biden-era bureaucrats who “waste federal taxpayer money” promoting DEI and climate change agendas.
With the Trump administration launching a “renewed effort” to investigate the origins of COVID-19, the window for accountability is wide open—and the GOP wants Bondi to walk through it.
