Dr. Fauci: 'None Of Us Have Ever Been Told To Slow Down On Testing'

During a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci told lawmakers that he and the coronavirus task force have never been told to slow down testing. Instead, he said they want to do more testing. His comments come after President Donald Trump claimed during a rally that he told officials to cut back on the number of tests. White House officials later said the president's remarks were made "in jest."
