Several Republican lawmakers signaled they are planning to target White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci in investigations if the GOP secures at least one chamber in the 2022 midterms.

“One way or another, if we are in the majority, we will subpoena his records and he will testify in the Senate under oath,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who could become the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee chairman if Republicans win, told The Hill in a July 25 report.
