Deborah Birx to testify publicly for first time since leaving Trump administration
Deborah Birx, who was Covid response coordinator under former President Trump, will give her first publicly testimony about her time in the Trump administration.
WASHINGTON — Deborah Birx, who served as Covid response coordinator under former President Donald Trump, will give her first public testimony about her time in the Trump administration.
Birx is scheduled to provide testimony on June 23 at a hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, led by Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.
The subcommittee, in an advisory slated for widespread release later Thursday, says it “will hear Dr. Birx’s firsthand knowledge about what went wrong during the previous administration in order to determine what corrective steps are necessary to better prepare our nation for any future public health crisis.”
Birx is expected to appear in person at the hearing.
The subcommittee previously questioned Birx in a closed-door interview last October.
