Al Gore: It "makes no sense" to filter scientific knowledge through the White House 

Former US Vice President Al Gore slammed the White House's practice of distributing much of the administration's scientific knowledge on coronavirus through the coronavirus task force and the vice president's office.
"It makes no sense at all," said Gore, speaking at CNN's global town hall. "We have had a tradition in this country of seeking out the best available evidence and testing it with one another in free discourse, and then deciding together in the spirit of camaraderie what is more likely to be true than not.
"That is how science works as well," he said.
Gore also criticized the administration for blocking Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the coronavirus task force, from testifying before the Democratic-led House.
"For the the White House to prevent him from testifying to the House ... on hearings that the American people want to see ... that's horrible," he said.
