The Democrats on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis subpoenaed two top health officials in the Trump administration on Dec. 21 after the panel’s investigation found that political meddling had hindered scientific work at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Subcommittee chairman James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) issued subpoenas to Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar and CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, ordering them to hand over documents that Democrats claim “hindered the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, putting American lives at greater risk.”
