Appearing on Fox News to discuss the first ever Senate hearing on gain of function research, Rand Paul revealed that there is a committee that is supposed to oversee such experimentation with potentially lethal viruses, but that it is above the oversight of Congress.

Paul noted that according to scientists who testified on Capitol Hill yesterday, "the committee that is supposed to review these viruses is secret."

"We don't know the names. We don't know that they ever meet, and we don't have any records of their meetings," the Senator reiterated, adding "It's top-secret. Congress is not allowed to know. So whether the committee actually exists, we're uncertain."
