The United States House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, formerly the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, is a bipartisan

House Oversight Committee.[5]

Pelosi stated in her announcement that the committee would be chaired by

profiteering,[7] and price gouging,[2] and seeking to ensure that responses to the pandemic are based on science.[2] She described the committee as a mechanism for an after-action review.[4]

The committee's mandate is analogous to that of the Truman Committee in the 1940s, which investigated waste and fraud in defense spending.[2]

On April 23, 2020, the House officially voted 212–182 along party lines, to approve the committee's creation.[8]

After Republicans gained a majority of the House of Representatives at the start of the

origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research, coronavirus-related government spending, and mask and vaccine mandates.[9]

On January 24, 2023, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that the subcommittee would be chaired by Representative Brad Wenstrup.[10]

During the committee's first hearing on March 8, Republican Jim Jordan alleged that Anthony Fauci had steered a $9 million grant to two scientists in exchange for them changing their position that the virus had originated in a lab to originating naturally.[11]
