Fauci, a former White House medical adviser, will give a two-day interview in January to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic about his involvement in the public health response during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Two government and two personal attorneys will be present for the seven hours of testimony each day during the transcribed interview, which is scheduled for January 8th to the 9th.
The subcommittee declared that Fauci had consented to testify later in 2024, in addition to his interview.
Since he left his position with the government last year, House Republicans have made it clear that they intend to question Fauci. For almost 40 years he was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
At the time of Fauci’s initial announcement of his resignation, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on X that he “owes the American people answers” and that the majority of the House GOP will hold him responsible.
At the time, Fauci declared he would work with House Republicans to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic to the fullest extent possible.
He assumed the position of distinguished professor at Georgetown University subsequent to his resignation.
Subcommittee Chair Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio.) released a statement saying that Fauci’s 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,” Wenstrup continued. “Americans deserve trusted public health leaders who prioritize the well-being of our people over any personal or political goals.”
