Fauci Invokes Fifth Amendment at Senate Hearing Over Covid Questions
Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to testify before the Senate on Wednesday minutes into the hearing, amid questions about his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic response.
Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refusing to testify in a Senate hearing about his role in the US government's response to the Covid-19 pandemic just minutes into the questioning session, CNN Politics reported. The move comes as lawmakers seek to scrutinize Fauci's past comments and actions on vaccines and treatments during the pandemic. Fauci had previously cooperated with investigations but invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid potential self-incrimination, a rare move for someone in his position.
