White House blocks Fauci from testifying before Congress

House Democrats seeking Anthony Fauci's testimony on the coronavirus crisis have been rebuffed by the White House, which is blocking the nation’s top infectious disease expert from appearing next week on Capitol Hill.

Democrats had invited Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, to appear Wednesday before an Appropriations subcommittee examining the Trump administration's response to the pandemic, which has killed more than 64,000 people in the United States.
