Schumer Hoping to Get Anti-Trump Rhetoric from Fauci

From the story: Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is scheduled to testify for the first time before the Senate Health Committee on Tuesday about the way Trump has responded to the coronavirus pandemic. “Until now, we’ve mostly heard from the members of the coronavirus task force through the distorted lens of the White House press conference where the president often prevents them from answering fully, interrupts their response, or even contradicts their fact-based evidence,” Schumer said on Monday. “This will be one of the first opportunities for Dr. Fauci to tell the American people the unvarnished truth without the president lurking over his shoulder. Dr. Fauci, let it rip,” he added (Fox News). 

According to the New York Times, “Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, intends to tell the Senate that Americans would experience “needless suffering and death” if the country opens up prematurely” (NY Times).
