Sen. Rand Paul has released a 1,141-page cache of Anthony Fauci's private pandemic diaries, days before the former top US infectious-disease official testifies under oath, exposing entries in which scientists privately doubted the coronavirus emerged naturally in January 2020.
The timing is deliberate. Paul, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, posted the notes over the weekend and set the terms of Wednesday's hearing before Fauci had said a word.
