> The US Senate voted along party lines to advance a resolution holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify during a hearing examining his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Senate panel moved the resolution forward after he declined to give testimony under that protection.
