"Dear Diary" Fifth Amendment

Dr. Fauci Hearing Drama

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. jumped into the Anthony Fauci hearing drama with a short message and a meme that quickly got attention online.

Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of the most visible faces of the federal COVID response, appeared Wednesday morning under subpoena before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The hearing was titled “Testimony of Anthony Fauci” and was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET on July 29 in Room SD-342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, according to the committee notice cited in the report.

Sen. Rand Paul has been one of Fauci’s fiercest critics for years. The hearing followed Paul’s release of what has been described as Fauci’s “Diary Package” over the weekend. Critics say the material shows Fauci’s concern with his public image during the pandemic era.

Once the hearing began, Fauci reportedly refused to answer questions and invoked the Fifth Amendment. That move immediately fueled fresh criticism from conservatives who have long argued that Fauci has never been fully held accountable for his role in COVID policy, government messaging, and the broader pandemic response.

Paul told the attorney several times that he was not authorized to speak during the hearing. When Schertler continued addressing the committee, Paul ordered Capitol Police to remove him.
“Security, please remove him from the room,” the Kentucky Republican declared.
