10 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Hawley challenged Fauci at a Senate hearing over repeated invocations of the Fifth Amendment. Left-leaning outlets focus on Hawley's later statement that no honest person pleads the Fifth and its apparent implication of Trump. Center outlets likewise place Hawley's statement alongside Trump's past use of the amendment. Right-leaning outlets portray Hawley's questioning as exposing Fauci's refusals and pressing him over alleged misconduct.
