Top House GOP lawmakers are now demanding the unredacted communications from Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and called on him to testify after thousands of his emails were released to the public this week.

House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), the top Republican on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, and House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a letter to top committee Democrats and said it’s “now imperative that Dr. Fauci come before our Committees to provide information related to the origins of the novel coronavirus as well as the U.S. government’s role in funding research that may have contributed to the development of the novel coronavirus.”
