YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Watch live: Senate panel votes on holding Fauci in contempt
The Senate Homeland Security Committee is set to vote Thursday morning on a resolution to hold former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci in contempt following a hearing last month when the doctor pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times. Fauci received a sweeping pardon from former President Biden during his last days in office. Paul, who chairs the committee, and other senators have questioned the viability of the doctor invoking his First Amendment right after receiving clemency. The contentious hearing, centered on the COVID-19 pandemic, came after Paul released over 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal diaries. #fauci #senate #fifthamendment
