At a highly anticipated Senate hearing, Anthony Fauci on Wednesday invoked his Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions about the Covid-19 pandemic and its origins, saying he was doing so on the advice of his attorneys.
By the end of the event, after the infectious disease expert declined to answer a single question from lawmakers, Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican who forced Fauci to appear, announced that he would convene a vote next week on whether to hold Fauci in contempt for his refusal.
