**Checked and not found in this extract:** any mention of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, of pandemic relief programs, or of campaign contributions. The fetch tool's rendering of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party role is ambiguous between chair and ranking member and is therefore not relied on.
