'US’ most damaging bureaucrat': Cruz demands jail for Fauci over pleading the Fifth at Covid hearing

Sen. Ted Cruz is demanding that former White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci face contempt charges, prosecution for perjury and possible jail time after Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a Republican-led Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. The explosive hearing, led by Sen. Rand Paul, focused on the federal government's COVID-19 response, Fauci's public statements, his recently released private diary entries, and questions surrounding the origins of COVID-19, school closures and pandemic policies.
