Dr. Ebright even suggested that Fauci was being \u201cuntruthful\u201d in his remarks to the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans have already suggested that Dr. Fauci must face a full investigation and be totally forthcoming about his agency\u2019s \u2014 and the NIH\u2019s \u2014 involvement in funding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) suggested that Dr. Fauci is \u201chiding\u201d something and should face an investigation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.8260869565217\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Your tax dollars funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.<\/p>\n<p>What is Fauci hiding?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TDcwOHZpNP\">https:\/\/t.co\/TDcwOHZpNP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
