FAUCI HELD IN CONTEMPT! He Pled The Fifth 111 Times! What’s On His Phone?
Could a former top health official really plead the Fifth over 100 times in front of Congress? That's exactly what happened with Dr. Anthony Fauci, leading to a dramatic showdown in the Senate. Last week, the former NIAID chief repeatedly refused to answer questions from lawmakers, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights an astonishing 111 times during his testimony. This sparked outrage, especially from Republicans like Chairman Rand Paul, who vehemently argued that Fauci, despite receiving a sweeping "autopen" pardon from former President Joe Biden for COVID-related actions, was still obligated to cooperate. On Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee delivered a powerful rebuke, voting 8-5 to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress. Paul emphasized that the vote concerned holding a witness accountable for defying orders, stressing that Fauci had ample opportunities to answer critical questions pertinent to their investigation. The resolution now bypasses a full Senate vote and heads directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, signaling a serious legal escalation. Adding another layer to this unfolding drama, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has even obtained a copy of Dr. Fauci’s phone, hoping it will shed light on the very questions he refused to address. This contentious battle highlights the ongoing scrutiny over pandemic-era decisions and accountability.
