On Wednesday, Fauci invoked his right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering lawmakers' questions. He repeated this phrase more than 100 times. He even refused to tell Sen. Rand Paul what day it was, what his tie looked like, or what color was the carpet in front of him. Paul, in turn, promised that the committee will consider what measures should be taken against Fauci, as refusal to testify amid a congressional investigation is illegal. In June, then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said before leaving her post that she had released documents detailing the actions of Fauci, including matters related to the funding of research at a laboratory in Wuhan. Following a two-year investigation, in December 2024, US congressmen stated that the coronavirus was most likely of laboratory origin and had spread as a result of a leak. Former US President Joe Biden granted Fauci a preventive pardon before the end of his term.
