## Summary

Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich criticised Anthony Fauci after he invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional questioning about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. She said families still want answers about school closures, masking and vaccination requirements, arguing that children continue to experience educational and mental-health consequences.

Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where Republican lawmakers questioned him and he reportedly invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. Senator Rand Paul said he would pursue civil contempt proceedings, while newly released diary entries were cited by critics as raising further questions about Fauci’s pandemic decisions and public statements. Descovich called for accountability and reforms to prevent similar government intervention in family and school decisions.
