The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has requested access to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s personal email and phone records, with the panel’s chairman saying the record request relates to new evidence suggesting that Dr. Fauci used a “secret back channel” to communicate about official COVID-19 information.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who chairs the House committee, wrote a letter to Dr. Fauci on May 29, requesting access to all documents and communications related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), EcoHealth Alliance, and the origins of COVID-19 retained in Dr. Fauci’s personal email and cellphone records.
