Dr. Anthony Fauci, a central figure in the U.S. government's COVID-19 response, is under scrutiny for allegedly using personal email accounts and a 'secret back channel' to communicate about the pandemic, potentially circumventing federal transparency laws. This revelation follows testimony from Fauci's aide, Dr. David Morens, who admitted to deleting messages and using private email to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The House COVID Committee has demanded access to Fauci's personal email and cellphone records. Fauci is also facing criticism for admitting that some COVID-19 guidelines, such as six-foot social distancing and child masking, were not based on scientific evidence. He is set to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on June 3rd. On May 29, the committee released a transcript of a 14-hour closed-door interview with Fauci.
