Dr Anthony Fauci faces fresh pressure after it emerged $200,000 more of taxpayers money was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology than the amount he said had been donated during Senate questioning.
America's most senior infectious diseases expert has been accused of misleading Congress after he claimed that $600,000 of taxpayers' money was sent to the Wuhan lab - when the actual figure is now known to be $826,000.

More trouble for the weasel.
Full story here ... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/state ... d=msedgntpCareer staffers at the State Department 'warned' officials not to investigate the possibility that COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab, fearing it would expose U.S. funding for gain-of-function research there, according to a new report.
Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department's Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance raised the concern in a memo reported by Vanity Fair on Thursday.
DiNanno wrote that staff from two bureaus, his own and the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, 'warned' leaders 'not to pursue an investigation into the origin of COVID-19' because it would 'open a can of worms' if it continued. .
In an interview with the outlet, DiNanno describes how his probe into the lab leak theory was thwarted at every turn, with hostile and antagonistic technical staff warning him not to open 'Pandora's box.'
In one State Department meeting, officials say colleagues explicitly told them not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology's (WIV) gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to the U.S. taxpayer funds that were supporting the work.
Gain-of-function research is a controversial field that involves collecting dangerous viruses and genetically modifying them to be more deadly, in order to study the risks of future outbreaks.
On Thursday night, former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox's The Ingraham Angle that the National Institute of Health tried to suppress the department's investigation.
He said that there was pushback in his own department from people who did not agree with him or Trump, and he also had to deal with 'internal debate' from the NIH.
Pompeo added that Dr Anthony Fauci, who runs NIAID under the NIH, was spreading Chinese talking points in his interviews earlier in the day by voicing 'the exact same theories that the Chinese Communist Party has presented for over a year now'.
'To hear Fauci this morning talk about how the Chinese have an interest in us discovering what happened is just crazy talk. The Chinese have a deep interest in covering it up. They have done so pretty darn effectively,' he said.
