Anthony Fauci was called before the Senate over Covid, then invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times rather than explain his own diaryAnthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 100 times during a Senate hearing declining to answer questions about his pandemic-era diary and the origins of Covid-19.
Recommended VideosThe Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves in a criminal matter.
Senator Paul, a former eye surgeon, continued pressing Fauci with questions despite the repeated refusals to answer.
Several Democratic senators, including Maggie Hassan, said they believed the hearing was intended to entrap Fauci rather than gather information.
The Senate committee is scheduled to vote next week on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, according to the committee’s official hearing record.
