The focus is on Fauci.
According to a Fox News report, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s first hearing on Wednesday will focus on new information that reveals Dr. Anthony Fauci’s efforts to dispel the lab leak theory.
From Fox News:
The COVID origins hearing will showcase the former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director and health and science experts. It is one of eight hearings that the Oversight Committee is conducting this week aimed at holding the Biden administration accountable.
The hearing comes after the subcommittee said over the weekend it uncovered new email evidence suggesting Fauci prompted the drafting of the “proximal origin” publication meant to “disprove” the COVID-19 lab leak theory.
Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, told Fox News’ Dana Perino Tuesday that lawmakers will examine emails revealing that Fauci and others were trying to “disprove” the lab leak theory.
“The plausible explanation seems to be from the lab, and I think more and more people are seeing that,” said Wenstrup, who also sits on the House Intelligence Committee.
“I’ve been gathering a lot of this evidence over the last few years that does have the breadcrumbs leading towards the lab. That’s my opinion at this time. But we want to be able to get to the facts and prove this not only for the American people, but for the world, so that in the future we can predict a pandemic, prepare for a pandemic, protect ourselves from it,” he said.
“And at the end of the day, if we can prevent one, then better yet, but we’ve got a lot of work to do. And if there were things being done for motives such as personal motives or political motives as opposed to actual science, then we have a problem with our system that we need to correct.”
Kentuck Senator Rand Paul (R) commented on long-term adversary Tony Fauci’s precarious situation on Fox News on Tuesday.

Rand Paul👉 The reason Dr. Fauci didn't want any attention drawn to this or to his funding of the lab is that ultimately he would have culpability … When this is finally declassified, it's going to be explosive.
