Dr. Fauci Expected to Meet with Senate After Being Blocked from Testifying Before the House

Dr. Anthoney Fauci was blocked from testifying in front of the House Appropriations Labor-HHS-Education subcommittee, which was supposed to occur this week. The White House declared it would be "counterproductive" for Dr. Fauci, the director of NIAID and leading expert on the White House's coronavirus task force, to testify at congressional hearings. However, Dr. Fauci is now scheduled to meet on May 12, with the Senate's Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Now, why would the White House believe it to be counterproductive for Dr. Fauci to testify before the Democratic-led House Appropriations Subcommittee, but allow him to meet with the GOP-led Senate committee? Is this another attempt from Trump's administration to silence Dr. Fauci, and keep information away from his Democratic counterparts in the House?
