Senate committee votes to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer COVID questions
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Senate committee voted along party lines to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for not answering questions during a hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision follows Fauci invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 100 times. Republican Senator Rand Paul, who led the contempt finding, argued that Fauci's previous pardon from President Biden does not protect him from this situation. Fauci's attorney criticized the move as a political attack, asserting that it undermines constitutional rights. The case may now be referred to the Department of Justice for potential investigation.
