## Resource

Dr. Anthony Fauci returned to Capitol Hill for a highly anticipated Senate hearing examining the origins of COVID-19, government-funded research and his actions during the pandemic. Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, declining to answer more than 100 questions as Senator Rand Paul accused him of misleading Congress and warned that a contempt vote could follow. Was Fauci protecting himself from a political trap, or did the hearing expose a deeper COVID cover-up? Tonight, we break down the most explosive moments, the questions Fauci refused to answer, the controversy surrounding his presidential pardon and what could happen next. Visit our merch store here
