Senate Panel Holds Dr. Anthony Fauci in Contempt of Congress

A Senate panel has taken decisive action. Dr. Anthony Fauci was held in contempt of Congress. The measure follows a contentious hearing held last week. During that proceeding, Dr. Anthony Fauci refused to answer questions. Instead of testifying, he chose to invoke the Fifth Amendment. Republican lawmakers strongly challenged this legal move. They argued that the constitutional protection did not apply. Republicans maintained he was not entitled to that protection due to a presidential pardon.
