WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans, and particularly Rand Paul (R-Ky.), have long been critical of the government’s actions during the Covid-19 pandemic — which began during the first Trump administration — and have sought to pin blame on those they believe played some role in the virus’s outbreak and what they describe as a subsequent cover-up of the pandemic’s origins.
On Wednesday, they will again get another chance to explore the past when Anthony Fauci, the nation’s former top infectious disease expert, testifies before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee following a subpoena issued by Paul.
