Senate Committee to Vote on Holding Fauci in Contempt

A Senate committee will vote August 6 on whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress — meaning he refused to cooperate with lawmakers. Chairman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., acted after Fauci declined to answer more than 100 questions about COVID-19 at a July 29 hearing, citing his right against self-incrimination. If approved, the Justice Department would decide whether to prosecute.
