President Donald Trump sounded off on Dr. Anthony Fauci on Truth Social as a highly anticipated hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee is underway. “Many more people died of Covid under the Biden Administration than under the Trump Administration. In any event I didn’t let him shut the Country down, although he wanted to,” Trump continued. “Fauci was largely taken out of play, and then along came Sleepy Joe Biden, who made Fauci a ‘King!’” During the hearing, Fauci pledged to plead the Fifth Amendment to Chairman Rand Paul's (R-KY) questions "on the advice of counsel."
