Dr. Anthony Fauci denied allegations his former colleague, Dr. Robert Redfield, made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday after Redfield said he was excluded from a conference call in early 2020 to discuss the origins of COVID-19 because he suspected the virus was the result of a lab leak.

Redfield, who served as the director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Wednesday.
