Senate Homeland Security Chair Rand Paul is moving to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after the longtime federal health bureaucrat invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering every question at a July hearing.

Paul plans to force a committee vote tomorrow (Thursday) on a contempt resolution that accuses Fauci of defying a lawful subpoena by refusing to respond to any inquiries. The resolution follows a contentious late-July appearance in which Fauci, once the face of the federal COVID response, declined to engage even on basic matters.
