EXCERPT:
Dr. Anthony Fauci has refused to voluntarily appear before a second Senate panel investigating his handling of the pandemic, weeks after invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times during testimony before another committee.
Fauci’s attorney, David Schertler, rejected a request from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, arguing that another appearance would “impermissibly harass or degrade Dr. Fauci for political purposes.”
The refusal deepens Fauci’s confrontation with Republican lawmakers who are examining his role in the federal pandemic response, COVID-19 origins, vaccine policy, and government-funded research.
