华盛顿，8月6日（路透社）——美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普周四提议应起诉安东尼·福奇医生，此前数小时共和党参议员兰德·保罗表示他将要求司法部就此采取行动。
保罗称，在福奇拒绝回答有关新冠疫情的问题后，他希望就此采取行动。

福奇领导美国国家过敏和传染病研究所长达38年，是美国新冠疫情应对工作的标志性人物，同时也是因防疫措施引发民众愤怒的主要目标——这场疫情已导致超过110万美国人死亡。
当被问及司法部是否应起诉福奇时，特朗普告诉记者，前助手彼得·纳瓦罗和史蒂夫·班农曾面临类似的诉讼“针对一些此前几乎从未被起诉过的事件，而且存在诸多相似的明显迹象”。
这位共和党籍前总统补充道：“当你看到这类事情发生时，你会不禁觉得或许他（福奇）也应该被起诉。坦率地说，他的所作所为比许多罪行都要严重得多。”
保罗的这一诉求源于上周的一场听证会，会上福奇援引宪法第五修正案反对自证其罪的权利超过100次。

WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that Dr. Anthony Fauci should be prosecuted, hours after Republican Senator Rand Paulo said that he would ask the Justice Department to do so.
Paul said he wanted action after Fauci refused to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, became the face of the response and a primary target of anger over measures taken against a virus that killed more than 1.1 million Americans.
When asked if the Justice Department should prosecute Fauci, Trump told reporters that former aides Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon had faced similar action “over something that essentially was never prosecuted before, and there are sort of telltale signs of similarity.”
The Republican president added: “When you see that happen, you sort of say maybe he should (be prosecuted). What he did is far more serious than a lot of crimes, frankly.”
Paul’s demand followed a hearing last week where Fauci invoked his constitutional right against self-incrimination more than 100 times.
