Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify during a Senate hearing on COVID-19 origins and government response. He expressed concerns that his testimony could be used by Republicans, particularly Senator Rand Paul, to accuse him of perjury. Fauci criticized Paul's obsession with prosecuting him and mentioned previous defamatory comments made by Paul. He stated that, despite his respect for the legislative process, he would refrain from answering questions based on his lawyers' advice. Paul has previously claimed Fauci lied to Congress, a charge Fauci denies. The hearing was expected to be contentious due to their history of public confrontations.
