US Senate panel votes to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress

A US Senate committee has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he refused to answer questions about his role during the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision was made along party lines by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, led by Republican Senator Rand Paul, who has long opposed Fauci. During a recent hearing, Fauci, now retired, invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times to avoid self-incrimination. This move represents a significant escalation in efforts by Republicans and the Trump administration to revisit pandemic-related decisions and hold officials accountable. Senator Paul has been conducting an extended investigation into whether Fauci concealed information about the virus' origins. Meanwhile, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has implemented changes to federal health policies aimed at addressing perceived issues with pandemic-era scientific guidance.
