Two top House Republicans now want to know how a scientist can have such a dramatic change in opinion -- so quickly -- about a virus that continues to baffle top experts.

Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said in a letter Thursday to Kristian Andersen, a virologist at California’s Scripps Research Institute, that he's interested in learning what was discussed during the call that may have contributed to the change of opinion.

The email read, in part, "The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered," he wrote. He admitted in the email that the research was in its early stages and his team needed more time to get a better grasp.

James Comer, R-Ky., ranking member on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, pointed out in a letter to Andersen that the email was sent Jan.

The following evening, Andersen and "several other international virologists" were on a call with Fauci.

Peter Daszak, CEO of EcoHealth Alliance, an email that called the man-made idea one of "the main crackpot theories going around at the moment."

A statement from the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee called on Fauci to join Andersen to discuss gain-of-function research conducted at the Wuhan lab
