Anthony Fauci to Testify Before Congress on COVID-19 Origins and the U.S. Pandemic Response

Anthony Fauci, former chief White House medical adviser, is expected to testify before Congress early next year as part of Republicans’ yearslong investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and the U.S. response to the disease.
