Fauci Declines Voluntary Interview Request From Sen. Ron Johnson

Outlets agree Fauci declined Sen. Ron Johnson’s voluntary interview request after repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment at a July hearing. Rand Paul argued that Biden’s pardon undercut Fauci’s basis for invoking it. Right-leaning outlets center the refusal and Fauci’s Fifth Amendment invocations; one portrays the refusal as evasive, while Fox News also stresses committee action and statements from Republican investigators.
