What happened

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times at a Senate Homeland Security hearing on COVID-19 after former President Joe Biden issued a federal pardon for any U.S. offenses from January 1, 2014, through the pardon date. Republican senators Rand Paul, Rick Scott and Bernie Moreno questioned him on pandemic policy, COVID-19 origins and the pardon’s legal effect. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said July 29 he is opening a state investigation into Fauci. President Trump said he respects the presidential pardon power.
