What happened

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul released portions of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private COVID-19 diaries ahead of Fauci’s planned Capitol Hill testimony Wednesday. In a Feb. 1, 2020 entry, Fauci described a conference call with senior scientists divided over whether the coronavirus could have originated from a laboratory. Other entries cover exchanges with President Donald Trump, governors, lawmakers, television figures and celebrities, and include Fauci’s note that answering congressional questions about COVID origins and Wuhan Institute of Virology funding was “wasting” time.
