Dr. Fauci uses Fifth Amendment over 100 times during COVID hearing
During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top US COVID-19 official, chose not to respond to inquiries regarding the pandemic's origins and the federal government's response. Fauci exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination on more than 100 occasions throughout the session, aiming to prevent Republicans from potentially utilizing his statements to pursue perjury charges against him.
