During testimony, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights while lawmakers questioned decisions involving COVID research, international partnerships, and government spending. Senators raised concerns about public trust, federal accountability, and whether taxpayer dollars supported risky research programs before and during the pandemic. The hearing comes as lawmakers continue examining the financial and policy decisions made during one of the most expensive public health crises in American history — and what those decisions mean for future government spending and preparedness.
