Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, pleading it over 100 times during a Senate hearing. He accused Senator Rand Paul of an "unhinged obsession" and weaponizing the proceedings against him, particularly after Paul released Fauci's pandemic-era diary. Despite a preemptive pardon from President Biden covering a decade of his pandemic-response roles, Republicans argued this pardon does not extend to his current testimony, potentially leading to obstruction of Congress charges.
