The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee plans to vote on holding Anthony Fauci in contempt after his refusal to answer questions during a recent hearing.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) is scheduled to vote on Thursday on a resolution to hold former top health official Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. This vote comes after Fauci appeared before the committee last week and invoked his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times, refusing to answer any questions posed to him. The hearing was described as tense due to Fauci's extensive use of his constitutional right, prompting the committee's decision to move forward with the contempt resolution.
