Anthony Fauci said Republicans have distorted emails between scientists as they discussed whether a lab leak of the coronavirus was possible.
Anthony S. Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testifies Monday during a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing. Anthony S. Fauci defended himself Monday against claims that he orchestrated a coverup of the coronavirus pandemic’s origins, with the former government official rejecting some allegations as “simply preposterous.”
It is the first time Fauci has faced a GOP-led panel to publicly answer questions about the covid-19 pandemic, which is linked to the deaths of more than 1 million Americans. Leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees U.S. health agencies, also joined the hearing. Fauci privately testified before the lawmakers for 14 hours in January.
The hearing with Fauci, widely viewed as the face of America’s coronavirus response, drew a circus-style environment to a covid panel that has often struggled for attention as the public has moved on from the pandemic. A line of would-be spectators snaked around the Rayburn House Office Building, seeking a seat in the standing-room-only hearing; a man sitting in the front row wore a T-shirt emblazoned with “JAIL FAUCI.
