Chairman Paul Releases Contempt Resolution Against Dr. Anthony Fauci; Committee to Vote Thursday WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, under Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY), will vote Thursday at 8:30 AM EDT on a resolution to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions under subpoena.
“Dr. Fauci appeared under subpoena and invoked the Fifth Amendment to refuse answering questions. During the hearing, I ruled that the Fifth Amendment did not apply because of the pardon, and that Fauci had waived any remaining privilege by giving opening testimony. I ordered him to answer and warned him about contempt, yet he still refused. That is obstruction of a congressional investigation. The Committee will act accordingly,” said Chairman Paul.
The resolution will be considered by the Committee on Thursday.
