Senate committee set to vote on whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress

The Senate Homeland Security Committee is scheduled to vote on a contempt of Congress resolution against Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A contempt vote requires committee approval before any referral to the full Senate.
