Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, July 29, 2026 —
Washington D.C. – Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Chief Medical Advisor to the President and a prominent figure during the COVID-19 pandemic, appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Tuesday. The hearing, focused on his role and decisions during the pandemic, lasted approximately three hours.
During his testimony, Dr. Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He declined to answer numerous questions posed by committee members, stating that he was acting on the advice of his legal counsel.
The use of the Fifth Amendment by Dr. Fauci appeared to cause significant frustration among Republican senators present at the hearing. Conversely, Democratic senators reportedly expressed support for his decision.
Following the hearing, the committee’s chair indicated that they are considering a vote to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress due to his refusal to answer questions.
