'He has lot to hide': Fauci refuses another Senate appearance; Johnson plans big move in COVID probe

Dr. Anthony Fauci has refused to appear for a private Senate interview requested by Senator Ron Johnson as Republicans continue investigating the federal government’s COVID-19 response. Johnson says his subcommittee will keep obtaining Fauci-related records, seek interviews with key individuals who worked with him, and explore legal options before deciding its next steps. The refusal comes as lawmakers continue questioning Fauci’s role in pandemic-era decisions, federal research funding and the government’s handling of COVID-19.
