and jury selection starts today in the trial of a former police officer accused of killing george floyd. his death sparked a summer of protest in the united states . good to have you with us. the duke and duchess of sussex are revealing many stunning claims about their relationship with britain s royal family. the overarching message in harry and meghan s tell-all interview with oprah winfrey was that they didn t feel supported. meghan says life as a member of the royal family had become so isolating and lonely for her that she contemplated suicide. i just didn t want to be alive anymore, and that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought. but we had to go to this event. and i remember him thinking i don t think you can go. and i remember saying i can t be left alone. because you were afraid of what you might do to yourself? and we went, and so sorry to hear that. and that picture, if you zoom in, what i see is how tightly his knuckles are gripped
both hypothesis including the lab leak they ended up hurting the credibility of science. dana: the debate over the origins of covid and credibility of our health officials leading the charge comes back today. dr. fauci is about to testify before a house panel on his response to the virus in his first public testimony in nearly two years. remarkable. it has been two years. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom, i m dana perino. bill: good morning. i thought dr. redfield was very interesting last hour. i m bill hemmer. the pandemic may be officially over but the world may never fully recover from the damage it posed. a lot of questions finally getting more pointed. republicans on that committee are digging into the lab in wuhan china and whether a key fauci advisor was looking to evade laws, a cover-up. dana: the founder of public vcc. you follow it closely. i want to play some sound from democratic lawmakers questioning the conduct of dr. morens last week. what
