$120,000 a year grant in a $6 billion budget. if they were going to do something on the side, they had plenty of other money to do it. they wouldn t necessarily have to use $120,000 nih grant to do it. i appreciate that. it means something could happen. i m glad you kept an open mind. one final thing. do you think they could have done it without the humanized mice that we gave them? could have done what, sir? could they have done any other research with the humanized mice that we gave them? china didn t have humanized mice before we gave them to wuhan. isn t it accurate they might have been able to do extra stuff with our mice? that s a hypothetical that i can t really answer what they could. you can t say it count have happened. i yield back. you want me to prove a negative. now recognize miss castor from florida.
Actions dr. morens wrote to the doctor peter from tony s recent comments to me they are trying to protect you, end quote. did you ever talk to dr. morens about dr. daczak and eco health alliance. we knew he was a grantee. i may have mentioned and discussed him because he is a grantee but i never spoke about protecting him. he just made that up? you are testifying that dr. morens just made that up. i don t know where he got that but it is not true. by this point, dr. fauci, when these emails were written, you should have known that dr. daszak was two years later on a required progress report for his grant. he conducted an experiment that resulted in a novel virus showing excess growth.
Systems of accountability have become systems of plausible denia deniability. your name is on every grant but absolve yourself of responsibility by saying it goes to this committee that s you know, that has a number of people on it and approved in block and there is no accountability for anything. any of the taxpayer dollars that are going forth. i disagree, congressman. if you look at the number of grants, we fund thousands of grants. it would be physically impossible for me to go through every single grant in a detailed way to understand it. that is true not only for me but for virtually every institute at the nih. why does your signature go on it somebody has to sign it and you trust the expertise and competence of the staff that go over it. gentleman s time is expired. recognize ms. ross from north carolina for five minutes. thank you, mr. chairman.
Replaced by a new much more detailed definition with a much higher bar that you have since conveniently used to define gain of function testing and to deny what the doctor has confirmed. he also said that eco-health alliance has failed to properly report that their research violated the terms of the grant. something that went completely unaddressed under your watch. you re a senior advisor who you have tried today to distance yourself from but whose large volume of emails clearly demonstrate that you had a very close and personal relationship with and reported to you directly has openly bragged about how he subverted foia s requests. i remind you that the law requires you and your former organization to comply with freedom of information request. it is not optional. if your organization that you oversaw were systemically avoiding transparency and illegally hiding or destroying
This moment. how do you feel you per micah? terrible cnn s meg tirrell is joining us now. meg, this one on for several hours. was there anything new that we learned from dr. fauci? well, we had already sort of seen a lot of what he was going to say because while this was the first public testimony that dr. fauci has given since he left the niaaa id at the end of 2022, he did give two days of closed-door testimony in january and republican staffers for the subcommittee had released those two transcripts just days before this hearing and they d put out a memo focused on the things that they were really wanted to focus on today and that we heard a lot about the chief of that was the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and the oversight that dr. fauci had in terms of any interactions with the grant? that was made to a lab in china? some interactions
Now. of course,, trump s legal team would have to request that the court hears such an appeal. it is, of course, nothing we ve ever seen before but nothing is restricting it s because the supreme court has absolute jurisdiction over matters of national importance and in this is not a matter of national importance, what is? this is the presumptive republican candidates now moving forward towards a possible sentencing when he is trying to campaign for a november election. neil: let s switch to hunter biden in that case. the more i think of what hunter is facing now possibly if he s guilty of these charges, 20 plus years in jail at unlikely grant you. but it does bring you back to that the below is almost signed, sealed and delivered until the judge unattempted well, that won t change the world and it? it was an example i think of hunter being too greedy trying to get too much in a plea bargain. i really don t know why they are going to trial.
That we reported on. i mean, in another case, dan scavino, the long-time trump communications aide, got a grant of stock from the new trump media company worth $4 million. he also got a board seat on the company in between the time when he got a subpoena in one of the investigations and when he finally testified. so and to be clear, the lawyers we spoke to said to actually cross the threshold of the federal crime of witness tampering, prosecutors needed to show there was actually intent to i believe the phrase is corruptly persuade or influence a witness s testimony, and we have no reporting about the intent of president trump or the campaign, but there is this pretty striking pattern where we found at least nine cases of witnesses getting significant financial benefits. well, and to maybe i mean, the dots that propublica has presented to the world and other
The exciting thing him, who are having this discussion a moment ago with this momentum carried through november? the court cases are so as long as you have other venues pressing forward and legal strain, he was the voters continue to be galvanized and feel like it s an unfair process politically influenced. you reacted to that, turn in the grant from the president and the video. it was as creepy and insidious and almost like an sq. i m behind is because i set my number three from d.o.j. to work with alvin bragg which is not a step up in the career ladder. that smile told me so much that i wrote on twitter, make up a campaign ad. literally the trump campaign did the picture tells a thousand words. is senile chucky doll democrats a better description. let s look at this from the clinton we recently had new

Focusing on health today as our political correspondent tony bonsignore explained to me earlier. the lib dems promising to spend an extra £1 billion a year on what is known as the public health grant. this is money given to local councils to spend on public health. they say this will reverse real terms cuts to that grant over the past decade and it will be spent on things like health checks for a0 to 74 year olds, health visits for infants and their mothers, and also wider access to blood pressure tests. the lib dems say it will be funded by a clampdown on tax avoidance and it would reduce pressure on the nhs by preventing people becoming ill in the first place. now, on the conservatives policy proposal which you have just heard from victoria atkins, the lib dems accuse the government of already failing on promises to train more doctors, to build more hospitals. they also point out that hundreds of community pharmacies have already closed in recent years. labour, meanwhile, is calling it the latest empty promise from the conservatives.
