Anthony Fauci invokes 5th Amendment right not to testify at Covid hearing, calls Sen. Rand Paul ‘unhinged’
Fauci said he was following counsel’s advice as Senate Republicans pressed him on pandemic origins and released more than 1,000 pages of his diary.
- On Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former NIAID director, appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee under subpoena. He repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right, declining to answer questions about COVID-19 origins.
- Prior to the hearing, Chairman Sen. Rand Paul released over 1,100 pages of Fauci's pandemic-era diary entries. Paul argues these documents reveal discrepancies between Fauci's private notes and public testimony regarding gain-of-function research.
- Calling Paul's scrutiny an "unhinged obsession," Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during the hearing. He cited legal advice and accused the senator of attempting to trap him into perjury.
- Following the refusal, Chairman Paul announced the committee will vote next week on contempt of Congress charges. Democrats defended Fauci, calling the proceedings unjustified and an attempt at "entrapment" rather than legitimate oversight.
- The hearing reflects persistent partisan divisions over the government's pandemic response. Experts warn that targeting veteran scientists like Fauci could discourage future public health officials from entering government service during emergencies.
