Senate Committee Votes on Whether to Hold Anthony Fauci in Contempt of Congress After Invoking the Fifth Amendment
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Republican senators are set to vote on Thursday regarding a resolution to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. This follows Fauci's refusal to answer questions during a recent tense hearing, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment, citing concerns that Republicans would use his testimony against him. Senators, including Rand Paul, argue that a pardon he received from President Biden last year does not exempt him from self-incrimination protections. If the contempt resolution passes, it could lead to a referral to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, adding to the ongoing partisan divisions surrounding Fauci's role during the COVID-19 pandemic.
