On August 6, 2026, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8–5 to hold Dr.
2026年8月6日，參議院國土安全與政府事務委員會以8比5的票數，決議控告前國家過敏與傳染病研究院（NIAID）院長安東尼·佛奇博士藐視國會。
Anthony Fauci, former director of the NIAID, in contempt of Congress.
此舉源於7月29日舉行的一場激烈聽證會，會中佛奇博士拒絕回答有關聯邦政府COVID-19防疫工作的詢問。
Fauci declined to answer inquiries regarding the federal COVID-19 response.
委員會主席藍德·保羅參議員主張，由於佛奇博士先前已獲得喬·拜登總統的預防性赦免，該項特權已不適用。
Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times.
儘管參議院民主黨人將此調查指稱為倉促的政治操作，保羅參議員仍計畫繞過參議院全體表決，將此案直接移交司法部。
Fauci previously received a preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden.
While Senate Democrats labeled the investigation as a rushed political maneuver, Senator Paul plans to bypass a full Senate vote and refer the case directly to the Department of Justice.
Fauci could face up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
This development remains a high-profile point of contention in American politics, highlighting ongoing disagreements over executive accountability and the limits of constitutional protections in legislative oversight hearings.
