## Summary

Radio host Charlamagne tha God said Dr Anthony Fauci’s repeated use of the Fifth Amendment during a Senate hearing appeared “fishy” and “suspicious”, despite Fauci having received a pardon. The comments add to political debate over Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 response and whether his testimony should face further scrutiny.

The Fox News article centres on Charlamagne’s reaction to Fauci declining to answer questions by invoking constitutional protection against self-incrimination. It also refers to criticism from Republican lawmakers and contrasts the hearing with Fauci’s earlier public commitment to co-operate fully with Congress, while supporters argue that allegations against him are unfounded.
