Dr. Anthony Fauci’s words are coming back to haunt him after resurfaced comments from a 2022 interview with CNN showed a complete 180 on his attitude toward testifying before Congress. "I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee," Fauci told CNN in 2022. Fauci, under his lawyers’ guidance, did not answer a single question from Sen.
