Rand Paul Wants to Charge Fauci With Contempt of Congress After Hearing

Former health official Anthony Fauci refused to answer questions more than 100 times before a Senate committee on July 29, 2026, using his constitutional right to stay silent. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he would push to charge Fauci with contempt of Congress, which the full Senate must vote on. Fauci has denied Paul's cover-up accusations.
