Senate to Vote on Contempt Resolution Against Dr. Anthony Fauci

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is set to vote on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times during a hearing last week, refusing to answer questions despite being under subpoena. Senator Rand Paul, who chairs the committee, argues that Fauci's presidential pardon removed his right to invoke the Fifth Amendment, and his refusal to answer amounts to obstruction of a congressional investigation. The vote follows a contentious hearing where Fauci accused Paul of having an 'obvious obsession' with him.
