Fauci Faces Contempt Vote as GOP Renews COVID Scrutiny

Rand Paul voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt after he invoked the Fifth Amendment during testimony. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also debated pandemic management on CNN. Political analysts say the GOP is using its power to argue it was right all along, while Democrats call the focus a performative distraction.
