Fauci invokes 5th Amendment during Senate testimony

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a Senate hearing concerning the origins of COVID and the government's pandemic response. In his prepared remarks, Fauci declined to answer senators' questions to prevent Republicans from potentially using his testimony to prosecute him for perjury. During the proceedings, Fauci described Senator Rand Paul as unhinged. This legal move occurred as part of the ongoing legislative scrutiny into the U.S. response during the pandemic.
