Summary
Bernie Moreno said he stands by his Senate hearing outburst at Anthony Fauci, accusing the former NIH official on Fox News of abusing COVID-19 policy power and harming children and small businesses.
Wednesday's clash escalated after Fauci, following counsel's advice, invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
More than 1,000 pages of internal notes released by Chairman Rand Paul before the hearing, Moreno said, show Fauci privately held views on COVID-19 that differed from some of his public statements.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier opened an investigation Thursday after Fauci's refusal to testify, while Moreno urged other state attorneys general to pursue cases despite Fauci's pardon from former President Joe Biden.
