Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Aug. 1 suggested that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci are “hiding something” from Americans by redacting key information in correspondence that the public “deserves to have.”

“The redactions in Dr. Fauci’s emails are hiding something. They need to be transparent. This is information the American public deserves to have,” Johnson said on Twitter.
