Dr. Anthony Fauci was held in contempt of Congress by a committee vote for inappropriately invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination during a hearing on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee voted 8 to 5 Thursday morning to certify a contempt resolution filed by committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY) following Fauci’s refusal to testify on July 29. Paul is now expected to refer Fauci to the Department of Justice for prosecution.
