Sen. Ron Johnson on released Fauci diary entries

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin shared his reaction to the release of thousands of diary entries belonging to Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The entries were made public by Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky ahead of Fauci's scheduled testimony before a Senate committee.

Fauci is expected to testify on Wednesday regarding the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The release of his diary entries provides a potentially significant trove of information that could inform the committee's questioning and public understanding of the pandemic's early stages and management.

Johnson, who serves on the committee that will question Fauci, indicated that the diary entries offer a personal perspective from a key figure in the pandemic response. The implications of these entries for Fauci's testimony and the broader narrative surrounding the pandemic remain to be seen.
