Wednesday, July 29, 2026
Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during a recent proceeding. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, stated that the autopen pardon issued to Fauci operates on legally questionable grounds. An autopen is a mechanical device that reproduces a signature. Comer did not provide specific legal citations or analysis supporting his position on the pardon's validity.
