The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Sen. Rand Paul says he is moving ahead with a contempt or criminal referral to the Justice Department after Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times at a subpoenaed Senate hearing. Sen. Ron Johnson also sent July 29 letters seeking transcribed interviews with Fauci and former FDA officials on the pandemic response and COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy. Fauci declined to answer questions on COVID-19 origins and decision-making, saying the inquiry could expose him to criminal liability. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has said his office will investigate.
