Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while being grilled by Republicans during a contentious Senate hearing Wednesday.
The hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, came after the release of Fauci's unredacted pandemic-era diaries, which Republicans argue raise new questions about his public statements and internal deliberations during the global health crisis.
