Anthony Fauci Declines Senate Subcommittee Appearance
Fauci refuses to testify following a GOP contempt vote.
Event Overview
Dr. Anthony Fauci has declined a request to voluntarily appear for a private transcribed interview before a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee. This follows a July 29 hearing where Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 100 times, leading to a party-line vote to hold him in contempt. Fauci's lawyers argue that further requests to compel his appearance are attempts to harass or degrade him for political purposes.
