> A key US Senate panel advanced a resolution Thursday to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. The move follows Fauci’s decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right during a hearing last week. He relied on that right rather than testifying before the panel. The resolution now moves forward as the Senate committee pursues the contempt charge.
