Senate Committee Votes on Whether to Hold Anthony Fauci in Contempt of Congress After Invoking the Fifth Amendment
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted along party lines to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment during a recent hearing. The resolution passed 8-5, with two Democrats voting by proxy. Fauci's lawyer criticized the vote as a political maneuver aimed at punishing Fauci for exercising his constitutional rights. Fauci, who has faced criticism from Republicans since the COVID-19 pandemic, refused to answer over 100 questions, citing concerns about potential legal repercussions. The committee may refer the contempt resolution to the Department of Justice or bring it to a full Senate vote.
