Key takeaway The Republican-led committee voted to hold him in contempt of Congress.
A Senate committee has taken action against Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Republican-led committee voted to hold him in contempt of Congress.
This decision came after Fauci refused to answer questions during a hearing, citing his constitutional right against self-incrimination. The committee's vote allows the matter to be sent to the US attorney for the District of Columbia. Typically, such matters would go to the full Senate before being referred to the Department of Justice, but in this case, it was sent directly.
Further details on this development are available from KXXV News, including the circumstances surrounding Fauci's appearance before the committee and the potential next steps in the process.
