Rand Paul threatens to investigate royalties to Fauci, other officials, if GOP takes Senate

Senator Rand Paul said that if and when Republicans take control of the Senate, he will make sure officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci have to disclose any royalties they receive.

"We've been asking you and you refused to answer whether anybody on the vaccine committees gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies," Paul said to Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing Wednesday. "I asked you last time, and what was your response? We don't have to tell you. We've demanded them through the Freedom of Information Act. And what have you said? We're not going to tell you. But I tell you this, when we get in charge, we're going to change the rules and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies, and if anybody in the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it. I promise you that."

Fauci responded by saying that those committees are advisory committees with the CDC and FDA, yet Paul keeps asking about him.
