what he knows might embarrass or reveal dishonesty from others in the government or those seeking positions in the government

The government is not a monolith. The US Congress could do this and individual Congresspeople don't have an obvious interest in covering this up.

Edit: the problem looks like partisan politics to me. Republicans have been agitating to pressure Daszak, and therefore Democrats are against it.

I agree I think it is partisan. My take is that Democrats and the media built up Fauci’s credibility during the 2020 election and don’t want to see it be demolished by what could obviously be a massive scandal. If Daszak goes down it would ruin the credibility of the entire government on the subject of pandemics.
