The U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating COVID-19 subpoenaed a longtime adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci on May 8 to force the official to appear and answer questions after internal emails showed that he communicated regularly with a scientist who helped funnel U.S. taxpayer money to a Chinese laboratory.

The subpoena from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic orders Dr. David Morens to appear in a public hearing on May 22.
