โ€˜The face of Americaโ€™s public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic,โ€™ Dr. Fauci headed a top U.S. health agency for decades.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has agreed to testify under oath in a private and public hearing, a U.S. House of Representatives committee announced on Nov. 30.

Dr. Fauci will appear to answer questions behind closed doors on Jan. 8 and Jan. 9, 2024, according to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

He will give seven hours of testimony each day.

Two personal lawyers and two government lawyers are being allowed to attend, the panel stated.

Dr. Fauci has also agreed to testify during a public hearing at a later date.

โ€œDr. Fauci was the face of Americaโ€™s public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his testimony will serve as a crucial component of the select subcommitteeโ€™s investigations into the origin of COVID-19, coercive mandates, gain-of-function type research, scientific censorship, and more,โ€ Committee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said in a statement.

โ€œIt is time for Dr. Fauci to confront the facts and address the numerous controversies that have arisen during and after the pandemic. Americans deserve trusted public health leaders who prioritize the well-being of our people over any personal or political goals. Thankfully, retirement from public service does not shield one from Congressional oversight nor accountability to the American people. During Dr. Fauciโ€™s upcoming testimonies, honesty is non-negotiable.โ€

Dr. Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 until late 2022.

The committee expects to ask questions about evidence that Dr. Fauci prompted the drafting of a paper called โ€œThe Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.โ€ The โ€œProximal Originโ€ publication claimed that COVID-19 didnโ€™t come from a laboratory in China.

Kristian Andersen, one of the publicationโ€™s authors, wrote in an email on Feb. 12, 2020, that the study was โ€œprompted byโ€ Dr. Fauci, Dr. Fauciโ€™s boss Dr. Francis Collins, and British research funder Jeremy Farrar.

Mr. Andersen wrote in a separate email that the focus of his groupโ€™s work was to โ€œdisprove any type of lab theory.โ€
