Fauci to face Republican questions over Covid pandemic origins – US politics live

Dr. Anthony Fauci is scheduled to face questions from the House Oversight Committee regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Committee Chairman James Comer stated that a presidential pardon from Joe Biden does not extend to Fauci's testimony. Comer indicated that Americans are still experiencing the effects of Fauci's actions and that he must be held accountable if he "continues to lie." The investigation is expected to focus on the disputed "lab leak" theory. Some scientists view this inquiry as "vilification and harassment" of the 85-year-old medical adviser.
