Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has agreed to testify in front of the Republican-led House over the COVID-19 response.
The testimony will include two days of transcribed interviews behind closed doors and a later public hearing.
The subcommittee aims to investigate various aspects of the pandemic, including the virus’s origin, mandates, research, and scientific censorship.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup wrote in a statement, “Dr. Fauci was the face of America’s public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his testimony will serve as a crucial component of the Select Subcommittee’s investigations into the origin of COVID-19, coercive mandates, gain-of-function type research, scientific censorship, and more.”
“It is time for Dr. Fauci to confront the facts and address the numerous controversies that have arisen during and after the pandemic,” continued the subcommittee chair.
“Americans deserve trusted public health leaders who prioritize the well-being of our people over any personal or political goals, demanded the Republican.
“Thankfully, retirement from public service does not shield one from Congressional oversight nor accountability to the American people. During Dr. Fauci’s upcoming testimonies, honesty is non-negotiable,” concluded the chairman.
Fauci’s changing public health advice during the pandemic and the impact of these actions, such as school closures and learning deficits, will be under scrutiny.
