White House Bars CDC From Testifying At School Reopening Hearings

Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), who leads the Committee on Education and Labor, had invited CDC Director Robert Redfield or another agency representative to testify July 23 at a hearing before the Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education Subcommittee on how to safely reopen schools.

But Scott revealed Friday on Twitter that the “White House will NOT allow” Redfield to testify.
