Senator Rand Paul Accuses Democrats of Ignoring Evidence in Fauci Hearing

In a Senate oversight session, Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly declined to answer questions by citing the Fifth Amendment, invoking it more than a hundred times. Republican Senator Rand Paul revealed that no Democratic committee member ever inspected the extensive evidence Republicans have assembled concerning Fauci’s conduct during the pandemic. Paul also highlighted that the committee created a public website containing all documents, but no Democrat accessed it because they did not request the access code.

Ranking Democrat Gary Peters attacked the probe, accusing the majority of bias and withholding records from the minority. Paul countered, calling the allegation false and emphasizing the transparency of the investigation. The exchange underscored deep partisan divisions over the handling of the Fauci inquiry.
