Senator Rand Paul has scheduled a committee vote for Thursday to consider whether Dr. Anthony Fauci was in contempt of Congress. This action follows a recent Republican-led hearing where Dr. Fauci appeared before lawmakers.
During the hearing, which focused on the origins of COVID-19, Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right. Separately, the Attorney General of Louisiana has announced that the state will launch an investigation into Dr. Fauci following the Senate proceedings.
The upcoming vote by Senator Paul's committee will address the contempt allegations. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
