During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci sparred over

the origin of COVID-19, and whether the U.S. provided funding for gain of function research

in Wuhan.

In a heated exchange, Senator Paul went on to accuse Dr. Fauci of breaking the law.

Dr. Fauci, as you are aware, it is a crime to lie to Congress.

What are the details behind this ongoing clash?

It's Thursday, July 22.
