RAW: Lawyer Ejected As Dr. Fauci Pleads The Fifth Before Rand Paul [Ze5xpMKzp66]
Uncut video captures the explosive moment Senator Rand Paul ordered Dr. Anthony Fauci's lawyer to be removed from a highly contentious Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday. Appearing under subpoena, the 85-year-old former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while facing intense questioning from Chairman Paul. The Republican senator has long argued that Dr. Fauci should shoulder the blame for the COVID-19 pandemic and the nation's response, leading to multiple heated clashes between the two over the years. The dramatic ejection of Fauci's legal counsel came just after the committee unexpectedly released more than a thousand pages of Fauci's personal diaries from the pandemic years—documents the Trump administration reportedly recovered from government servers.
