President Donald Trump's decision to block Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, from appearing before the House of Representatives is ludicrous.

If he wants to be a good leader in this time, Trump should promote free and open access to data about the virus and welcome input on how the U.S. can improve its response to the pandemic. Regardless of the political climate, the president should permit Congress to continue with its role in managing this crisis, which means that access to scientific testimony must come before politics.
In the same way, Democrats and Republicans in Congress should use these hearings to gather the facts, so we can improve our response, not as a political tool. Given indications that the administration knew more than it revealed, the hearings may have partisan consequences. But the goal of these hearings should be to uncover information, not to weaponize it for political gain.
In times like these, no one gets it 100 percent right. As the hearings reveal mistakes and failures, let's use them as an opportunity to improve, not to point fingers. We have a long way to go before the pandemic is behind us. The information the task force could provide can help us move forward with all the facts. All public officials, Democrats and Republicans, should get behind that goal.

Why would anyone want this Demoncrat-run legislative body have any say on anything? They’re crooks.
STFU you lifelong A$$HOLE.
One of the few times this creepette has admitted to being a Republican, unless it was a fundraiser.
My only comment on this is that one day there will be a Democratic president again and we have pretty much stripped Congress of any oversight authority. I am not super comfortable with the precedent we have set. No one seems to think beyond the moment these days.
