Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee after being subpoenaed by Sen. Rand Paul for a hearing focused on the origins of COVID-19 and the U.S. pandemic response. At the outset of the hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and declined to answer lawmakers' questions, saying he was acting on the advice of counsel. In his opening statement, Fauci said he believed the hearing was politically motivated and accused Sen. Paul of having an "obsession" with prosecuting him. Republicans questioned Fauci's handling of the pandemic, references in his pandemic-era diary, and allegations related to virus research. Fauci has repeatedly denied allegations that he misled Congress or engaged in wrongdoing. Democratic senators defended Fauci, arguing the hearing risked politicizing science and public health. #ussenatelive #drfaucihearing #covid19hearingliveupdates #randpaulvsdrfauci #usnewslive #worldnewslive
