Mlčel ve více než 100 případech. Senátní výbor doporučil stíhat Fauciho za pohrdání Kongresem

The U.S. Senate committee for internal security recommended that the Department of Justice prosecute epidemiologist Anthony Fauci for contempt of Congress. The reason is his refusal to answer questions during a hearing when he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, which guarantees the right not to testify against oneself. Senator Rand Paul claims that Fauci's constitutional protection does not apply because he received a pardon from President Joe Biden. Democrats on the committee opposed this resolution, arguing that Fauci's concerns are justified. Fauci led the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases for more than 39 years and served as a government expert on COVID-19 during the pandemic.
