Senate panel to vote on holding Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer questions

A Senate committee is scheduled to vote on whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress and refer him to the Justice Department over his refusal to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential action follows that Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a hearing before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. This episode raises complicated questions about lawmakers' ability to compel testimony from previously pardoned witnesses.
