House Republicans conducted a two-day interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci, highlighting a lack of oversight in research funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
They emphasized Fauci’s alleged unawareness of activities under his jurisdiction and his involvement in a scientific paper dismissing the Wuhan lab origin theory.
Democrats criticized the interviews as politically motivated, aiming to prove there was no cover-up of COVID-19’s origins. (Trending: Trump Responds To Biden’s Bombing In Yemen)

Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup, said, “Dr. Fauci’s testimony today uncovered drastic and systemic failures in America’s public health systems. While leading the nation’s COVID-19 response and influencing public narratives, he simultaneously had no idea what was happening under his own jurisdiction at NIAID.”
“Clearly, the American people and the United States government are operating with completely different expectations about the responsibilities of our public health leaders and the accountability of our public health agencies,” he continued.
Rep. Raul Ruiz said, “that there was no cover-up of COVID-19’s origins nor a suppression of the lab leak theory on [Fauci’s] part.”

“Nearly 1.2 million Americans lost their lives to a potentially preventable pandemic,” explained Wenstrup.
“[Tuesday’s] testimony will continue the Select Subcommittee’s effort to deliver the answers Americans demand and deserve,” he added.
The second day of questioning aimed to delve into Fauci’s stance on masking, lockdown policies, and vaccine mandates, in light of the substantial impact of the pandemic on the US.
