@justinfreakin: Rand Paul Calls Security On Fauci’s Lawyer During WILD Senate Hearing On Covid Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, ordered security to remove one of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attorneys from the committee’s hearing room on Wednesday after the longtime infectious disease expert invoked his Fifth Amendment right. The attorney attempted to speak several times, but Paul would not officially recognize him. Ranking member Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) attempted to use his time to let the attorney talk. Paul would not allow this either. “Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today,” Paul said. The attorney removed is David Schertler. Schertler’s firm has represented Fauci at congressional hearings before. Moments prior, Fauci, the former chief White House medical adviser, invoked his Fifth Amendment right after blasting Paul over what he described as the GOP lawmaker’s “obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution.” “The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in his words ‘behind bars,’” Fauci said. #Senate #newstiktok #newsupdate #fauci
