What happened

The Department of Health and Human Services turned over a copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pandemic-era government iPhone to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson. The transfer came ahead of a planned Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee vote Thursday on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress. The resolution follows Fauci’s July 29 committee appearance, when he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times while refusing to answer questions. Sen. Rand Paul is leading the contempt push.
