WASHINGTON (KMOX) - Missouri's Sen. Josh Hawley is calling for the resignation of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
On Twitter, Hawley called the investigation into recently obtained emails from Fauci about the origin of COVID-19 "shocking."
"The time has come for Fauci to resign and for a full congressional investigation into the origins of #COVID19 - and into any and all efforts to prevent a full accounting," Hawley tweeted.
Hawley is also calling for a full investigation into the origins of COVID-19 to determine "the NIAD's involvement in funding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
