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.
