Rudy Giuliani questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci's involvement in grants from the United States to a laboratory in Wuhan, China, that has been tied to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a report, the U.S. Intelligence Community has growing confidence that the current coronavirus strain may have accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology rather than from a wildlife market, as the Chinese Communist Party first claimed. During a Sunday interview on The Cats Roundtable, Giuliani questioned why the U.S. gave money to the lab.
"Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory — even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans," he claimed.
He added, "We never pulled that money. Something here is going on, John. I don’t want to make any accusations. But there was more knowledge about what was going on in China with our scientific people than they disclosed to us when this first came out. Just think of it: If this laboratory turns out to be the place where the virus came from, then we paid for it. We paid for the damn virus that’s killing us.”
Giuliani placed the blame on Fauci, who has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, it is not clear what oversight he had in the funding decisions. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases did award $3.7 million in grants to EcoHealth Alliance to study the “risk of future coronavirus

Gawd I love it when a loose cannon hits its mark....I leaves a permanent scar....
“Fauci is a joke and he is 79 years of age and Fauci is also a member of the DemonRat party.”
Well ... he has been working for Trump for three years. Trump has had Fauci front and center in the covid-19 briefings. Take it up with DJT.
I do want to go there. Everyone should listen to Judy Mikovits’ truepundit podcast (Thomas Paine show). It would appear that Fauci has far too much power and authority, and has been using it against the interests of everyone else not in his inner circle. Fire him and get sunlight on this, Mr President. It needs disinfection.
#12. Fauci basically works for Fauci and any US govt agency that funds him, good or bad. Been doing that since about 1980. Some great work on AIDS/HIV. Possibly not thought-out work via Red China on the “bat” virus.
only time and documents will tell.
Trump does NOT run NIH.
Agreed...
Some people already have received a vaccine

“Is this an oops for Rudy?” (Duckbutt...Your reply, stealin it!!)

“Rudy Giuliani took to Twitter to attack the U.S. president for giving $3.7 million to the Wuhan Laboratory in China in 2017 — not realizing that it was close ally Donald Trump in office at the time.”
It depends.......if this was FY 2017 it would be under Obama. The fiscal year would be 10/1/16 to 9/30/17 and Trump would not have anything to do with it. again....depends on when the money was appropriated. If it was FY 2018, which begins 10/1/17, it would have been under Trump.

Ok, what were the dates of the appropriations plain talk? (Nuthin is simple when it comes to decoding the Fed!) I’m betting under Obie! The problem is that most of the Ds collective of 10th grade dropouts will not be able to handle concepts like “fiscal year”.
(Good observation DB!)
NIH is under the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services — which is under Trump.
Dr. Fauci works for Trump and has been working for him for three years. Trump has had Fauci front and center in almost all of the covid-19 briefings.
Complaints? take it up with PDJT.
Bullshit. I work as a contractor for DOJ. Been working under 5 presidents and none of them have told me what to do, or signed my paycheck.
My overall bosses where US Attorney Generals, Assistant USA’s and Deputy Assistant USA’s. Got the award and photos to prove it.
No president ever looks over every grant given out by a federal agency/division/department.
Time to learn how the govt works before you post this stupidity.
I would not blame Clinton, Bushes, or Obama for something they did not personally designate in federal funding programs. Obamacare - Yes. A $3.7 million grant to a lab in Red China - No. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. LEARN IT.
PS: Spending 28 years saving the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in environmental cleanup costs but never got specific case orders from any president. Did brief Pres. Nixon on Vietnam in 1971 but that was a different kind of war.
I honestly didn’t realize 60 Minutes was still on.
Wouldn’t waste a second watching it.
Skeletrix strikes again!
Anyone who voted for Obama in 2012 is complicit in this disaster.
They CONSTANTLY try to absolve or deflect the LIBERAL LEFT from any wrongdoing by claiming "so and so did it too!"
The money went to the lab under the OBAMA administration back in 2015.
Dr. Fauci is a FRAUD!! He;s a DEEP STATE COUP PLOTTER QUACK!
He doesn't care. He's gone full TDS.
