Original: Senate committee votes to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress
A Senate committee has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress, escalating a long-running confrontation between the former top US infectious disease official and Republican lawmakers. The move stems from disputes over testimony and records related to the origins of Covid-19 and the federal pandemic response. Fauci's allies call it political retaliation; critics say he has failed to cooperate with the investigation.
Why now: The vote marks a rare contempt action against a prominent public health figure, feeding ongoing political fights over the pandemic response.
