Republicans said newly declassified records showed Fauci misled Congress and the public, and Senate leaders planned a contempt vote next week.

  • Sen. Josh Hawley exhibited emails showing Fauci directed Federal employees to solicit over $1 million in cash prizes, calling the practice a "multi-year course of self dealing."

  • Hawley argued Fauci has no Fifth Amendment rights due to a presidential pardon, citing an 1896 Supreme Court case, while Sen. Rick Scott claimed Fauci destroyed public trust.
