Dr. Fauci invokes the Fifth Amendment in heated Senate showdown [yhtiGMI7UrK]
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that he is invoking the Fifth Amendment Tuesday before Congress as the Republican-led Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee investigates the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee is led by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who is known for clashing with Fauci. At the start of Wednesday's hearing, Paul wasted little time lambasting Fauci's approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming that Fauci ordered staff to delete records and cover up evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a lab leak. ------------------------------------- Follow Scripps News on other platforms— Join our newsletter at Follow us on Facebook: Follow us on X: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok:
