A Senate committee has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. This move is part of a Republican initiative to charge the scientist for his role in the US government's response to the covid-19 pandemic.
The vote comes after Fauci refused to answer questions from lawmakers during a tense hearing. Republicans on the committee argue that this decision could lead to federal charges, which may result in up to a year in prison if convicted. Further details on this development are available from the source, including the next steps in the process.
The committee's recommendation is expected to be sent forward by the Republican chair.
