Fauci Invokes Fifth Amendment | Portland Maine News
Description
Dr. Fauci stunned lawmakers by invoking his Fifth Amendment right for every question during a Senate hearing, refusing to answer about pandemic origins or NIH funding — a move his legal team advised, and which offered no new info. Senator Rand Paul, leading the probe into potential lab-related research, saw the silence as guilt, while Democrats called the hearing a trap. Fauci insists he’s open to both natural and lab origins but leans toward natural. The standoff underscores deep partisan divides and sparks fresh debate over accountability in public health.
