What happened

The Republican-led Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted Thursday, 8-5 along party lines, to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he refused to answer questions about the COVID-19 response. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment during a hearing last week, with several reports saying he did so 111 times. Chairman Rand Paul said he would refer the contempt finding directly to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution. The effort faces procedural questions over whether a full Senate vote is required.
