Senatul SUA a votat pentru punerea sub acuzare a lui Anthony Fauci, fost oficial pentru boli infecțioase, pentru sfidarea Congresului după ce a refuzat să răspundă la întrebări despre pandemia de COVID-19

A U.S. Senate committee has voted to charge Anthony Fauci with contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about COVID-19 management. Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, invoked the Fifth Amendment multiple times during his recent testimony. Senator Rand Paul argues that Fauci can no longer claim this protection due to a preemptive pardon granted by former President Biden. The contempt charge requires a full Senate vote, needing 60 votes for approval, but Paul may send the charge directly to the Department of Justice. Fauci has faced criticism from conservatives for his pandemic response measures.
