4 OUTLETSA Senate committee rejected a proposal to grant immunity to a former Anthony Fauci aide; Rand Paul backed it. Left-leaning outlets center Republicans' criticism of absent Democrats and Maggie Hassan's objection to calling the meeting a hearing, portraying the criticism as backfiring. Center outlets pair Paul's planned Justice Department referral with Democrats' opposition to immunity and Hassan's call for more time. Right-leaning outlets frame the rejection as Democrats blocking an effort Paul said was needed to secure testimony.
