Replying to @SecKennedy

Our journalists have been covering Dr. Fauci's Senate appearance for days, and this article published before Secretary Kennedy disclosed he had given Senator Paul the records, or that they came from a government computer. Once the secretary announced this in a social media post, we updated the reporting and linked to Kennedy's new statement.
