Fauci’s Fifth Amendment Strategy | Honolulu News
Description
Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment over 100 times in a Senate hearing, sparking debate with Senator Rand Paul—who questioned the move and brought up old pardon cases. But Dr. Celine Gounder clarified that modern Supreme Court rulings, like Murphy v. Waterfront Commission, make Fauci’s refusal legally sound, even if pardoned. Paul also pushed claims about a lab leak and Fauci’s alleged cover-up, which Gounder debunked by explaining that the Wuhan animal testing data was misinterpreted—samples were from stray animals, not market ones, and other animal DNA would’ve been more telling. Gounder concluded Fauci’s legal strategy was sound, and Paul ultimately admitted the legal questions may need judicial resolution.
