Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment in Senate hearing

Former top US health official Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment during a Republican-led Senate committee hearing on the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, citing senator Rand Paul's release of his diary entries and an 'obsession' with prosecuting him. Fauci, who previously testified under oath, said he would not answer questions under advice of his attorneys. Democrats defended Fauci, calling the hearing a trap. The exchange grew tense, including a security guard removing Fauci's lawyer.
