Fauci Testifies Before the Senate

Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC director Robert Redfeld will be testifying before a Senate committee on the Trump administration’s coronavirus pandemic response.

Fauci previewed his testimony with the New York Times: “The major message that I wish to convey to the Senate HLP committee is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely If we skip over the checkpoints in the guidelines to ‘Open America Again,’ then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks throughout the country. This will not only result in needless suffering and death, but would actually set us back on our quest to return to normal.”

The hearing begins at 10 a.m. ET and will be widely televised.
