‘Warned him about contempt…’: Rand Paul escalates fight with Fauci; Dr. could face perjury charges

Dr. Anthony Fauci faces a pivotal moment as the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee prepares to vote on Sen. Rand Paul's resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress after Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a high-profile COVID-19 hearing. Rand Paul argues Fauci obstructed a congressional investigation by refusing to answer questions despite appearing under subpoena and receiving a sweeping presidential pardon. If the resolution advances, the matter could move to federal prosecutors, while Congress could also consider immunity to compel further testimony.
