Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a Senate committee hearing Wednesday, declining to answer dozens of questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The move allowed Fauci to avoid responses that could potentially expose him to allegations of lying under oath. Fauci received a pardon from President Joe Biden in early 2025, but some Republicans have argued that it would not cover any perjury committed during the hearing.
Fauci, who helped lead the nation’s COVID-19 response, was subpoenaed by Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. The two have clashed repeatedly over the federal response to the pandemic.
