A top U.S. House committee says a Biden Cabinet official did not provide Anthony Fauci’s COVID-19 diary to Congress, accusing the official of withholding related materials, including a cellphone, from lawmakers. The allegation comes as committee Republicans press for additional documents tied to Fauci and the early pandemic response.
Fox News reports that House Oversight Chair James Comer directs questions to Xavier Becerra, arguing the materials were not turned over in 2023. The outlet frames the dispute as a growing “scandal,” centered on transparency and compliance with congressional requests. Yahoo News references the same development but does not add separate details in the provided text.
Overall, the public claims across the referenced sources focus on whether the diary and cellphone were produced to the House committee when requested and what responsibility falls on specific officials. The accounts differ mainly in emphasis, with Fox characterizing it as a scandal and Yahoo presenting it as a developing allegation without additional context in the excerpt.
