> Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson reports that a Senate panel is preparing to vote on a contempt resolution targeting Dr. Anthony Fauci. The move follows a COVID-19 origins hearing in which Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. The pending vote marks an escalation in the probe and puts the Senate panel at the center of the dispute.
