Dr. Anthony Fauci consistently declined to answer questions from senators during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing focused on the coronavirus pandemic, repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment when probed about his handling of the matter. Scott Foretells Fauci's LegacyDuring the hearing, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) accused Dr. Fauci of destroying the federal government’s credibility on public health. “You breached public trust, and now you’re hiding behind a fraudulent pardon.
