The White House has blocked FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn from testifying to a House committee about his agency’s pandemic response, according to the panel's top Democrats

FDA did not immediately respond to questions. Hahn briefed members of the committee during a private Aug. 31 teleconference, but there is “bipartisan interest” in holding a public hearing, the Democrats said.

A White House spokesperson confirmed that Hahn was blocked from testifying, calling the decision "part of the administration’s existing protocol to make sure health officials can keep their time and energy focused on responding to the coronavirus." The spokesperson noted Hahn has testified to Congress four times in the past six months, including before Pallone's committee in June.

GOP LIAR!Trump said that Covid was good thing because he didn't have to shake'those disgusting people's hands anymore' Those'disgusting people” his supporters.He humiliated DocRedfield, head of the US CDC&said doc was'confused'in his congressional testimony, which he kept under

How can that be legal in any realm of democracy?!?

So they say he needs to focus on Covid, but only when Dems want him in a hearing, NOT when R's do, seems legit 🙄🙄

Of course they did. Sure wouldn't want the truth to come out.

Lock his ass up then! Then go after 45 and everyone else for obstruction.

47 days to go & the White House blocks his testimony.
