Senator Rand Paul says Dr. Anthony Fauci will face “consequences” for asserting his Fifth Amendment right to avoid answering questions about the COVID-19 pandemic after the infectious disease expert blasted the Republican lawmaker for his “unhinged obsession” with him.
The Senate Homeland Security Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, according to Paul. “It’s against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions for your refusal to testify,” Paul told Fauci on Wednesday.
