Episode Details

Senator Rand Paul is escalating his push for contempt charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has invoked his Fifth Amendment rights over 100 times during a Senate hearing. Paul argues Fauci shouldn’t dodge questions — especially since he received a presidential pardon from Biden — but legal experts are split: some say the pardon shields him from prosecution, making the Fifth Amendment irrelevant, while Fauci’s team claims the hearing is a perjury trap. Complicating matters, one state has launched its own investigation, and the Senate is poised to vote on contempt — with the final outcome likely to hinge on how courts interpret the tangled web of pardons, immunity, and self-incrimination.
