CBSN
Washington — Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to testify on Monday before a Republican-led House panel investigating the origins of COVID-19 and the government's pandemic response, in a widely anticipated hearing where the intense partisan divide over the pandemic is likely to be once again on display.
The hearing marks Fauci's first public appearance on Capitol Hill since leaving government in 2022, where he served as the chief medical advisor to President Biden and as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Fauci, who was revered by the left and denigrated by the right during the pandemic, is expected to be grilled by Republicans on the the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic committee during Monday's hearing.
