Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment during Senate hearing

Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly during a three-hour hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Senators criticized his refusal to answer questions, with some expressing frustration, while Democrats suggested the hearing aimed to entrap him. The hearing followed the release of Fauci's personal diary and a potential contempt vote was discussed.
