Fauci’s Fifth Amendment Gambit | Salt Lake City News
Description
Dr. Fauci’s legal maneuvering has ignited a firestorm: invoking the Fifth Amendment before a Senate committee, despite a presidential pardon covering federal crimes from 2014 to 2024. Republicans argue the pardon should erase any incriminating risk, but legal experts clarify that perjury remains a violation — and some say his opening remarks may have already waived his privilege. With Congress potentially voting him in contempt, the Justice Department could step in, echoing past high-profile cases like Bannon and Navarro. Meanwhile, state prosecutors remain a wildcard — and Fauci insists he did nothing wrong, even as the constitutional lines blur in real time.
