Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment at a Senate hearing☑️Republicans pressed Fauci over COVID origins☑️Democrats called the hearing partisanDr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer dozens of questions from senators in a Republican-led committee hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his opening statement, Fauci said Paul has an “obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution.” Fauci said, adding that while it pains him to do so, he is following his attorney’s advice by taking the Fifth. Leading up to the hearing, Paul released more than 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal diary covering the pandemic years. In one heated moment of the hearing, Paul ejected Fauci attorney David Schertler from the room after he tried to speak without being recognized.
