Fauci's decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment tees up a legal debate and a contempt vote

A Senate committee is taking action against Dr. Anthony Fauci. He had refused to answer questions at a hearing about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, the committee may vote to hold him in contempt. This decision could lead to an investigation. The main issue is whether Fauci had the right to refuse to answer questions.

Some senators think he did not have this right. Further details about this situation are available from KPRC 2. The committee's vote is expected to happen soon.
