Rand Paul Leads Hearing as Fauci Invokes Fifth Amendment

Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer questions at a Senate hearing led by Rand Paul. Paul said his committee would consider a contempt vote. Left-leaning outlets question the inquiry’s priorities, portraying it as targeting Fauci or diverting attention from broader public-health issues. Center outlets report the hearing, the possible contempt vote, and competing accounts of Fauci’s pandemic role. Right-leaning outlets emphasize allegations of Fauci’s wrongdoing and frame Paul’s questioning and contempt effort as accountability.
