Republicans in Congress have called top U.S. health officials to Capitol Hill to testify about the Biden administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee, now controlled by Republicans who took the majority in the recent election, are planning a public hearing for Feb. 8. They will interrogate leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, said the person, who asked not to be named as the details of the hearing aren’t yet public.
