Dr. Anthony Fauci faced intense scrutiny from House Republicans at a hearing on Monday as lawmakers continue to look into his response to the COVID-19 pandemic and examine theories of the origin of the virus.
Fauci previously proclaimed that he had “nothing to hide” and came before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic voluntarily. The more than three-hour hearing marked the first time he’s publicly testified since he left the federal government at the end of 2022 after five decades of service.
Fauci’s appearance on Capitol Hill comes amid a contentious election cycle, with Republicans continuing to hammer him on his response to the virus — everything from mask mandates to vaccine guidelines and origin possibilities.
Fauci addressed those issues, and defended himself from Republican attacks, calling certain matters “seriously distorted.”
