PoliticsUS Senate committee votes to hold Fauci in contempt

A US Senate committee voted along party lines to hold former health official Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer questions about his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The committee can now refer the matter to the Justice Department, though it is unclear whether prosecutors will act. Fauci’s lawyer called the resolution a politically motivated stunt.
