Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), invoked the 5th Amendment a total of 111 times on Wednesday, during testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Wednesday confirmed that his Senate committee would hold a contempt of Congress vote against Dr. Anthony Fauci after he invoked the 5th Amendment to avoid answering questions.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Wednesday that his office is launching an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci following a contentious Senate committee hearing. 

"Fauci's lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable. My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It's past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID," Uthmeier said in a post on X.
