Jim Jordan lashes out at Fauci for giving allegedly ‘false’ testimony on COVID-19 cover up
“During your tenure, the Response Team participated in extensive efforts to unconstitutionally monitor and censor Americans’ speech on social media platforms,” the chairman wrote in a letter to Fauci on Friday. “Accordingly, we request that you appear for a transcribed interview and produce documents relevant to our investigation.”

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan lashed out on Friday at former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Anthony Fauci, for allegedly lying to Congress during his testimony earlier this week.
Fauci testified about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic in front of a House panel on Monday, where he said that he kept an “open mind” about the pandemic’s origins, despite appearing to shut down theories that the virus could have been man-made. Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield previously testified that Fauci sidelined him from investigating the man-made theory, according to the New York Post. Fauci favored the theory that the virus originated on an animal and was transferred to humans.
Jordan asked Fauci if he agreed there was a “push to downplay the lab leak theory,” to which Fauci responded that there was no push on his end. Jordan claimed the response was “false,” because he was part of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Response Team, which pressured social media companies to censor critics of COVID lockdowns and the lab leak theory in 2021.
“During your tenure, the Response Team participated in extensive efforts to unconstitutionally monitor and censor Americans’ speech on social media platforms,” the chairman wrote in a letter to Fauci on Friday. “Accordingly, we request that you appear for a transcribed interview and produce documents relevant to our investigation.”
The letter also claimed Fauci “may have” taken part in a conspiracy to delete documents and material related to the pandemic’s origins. It additionally requested that Fauci turns over all communications and documents between Jan. 1, 2019, and the present related to executive branch suppression of the lab leak theory.
Jordan requested the records be submitted and the transcribed interview be scheduled by the end of day on June 21.
