Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security Committee are set to vote on whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. This move follows Fauci's refusal to answer their questions about the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vote, scheduled for Thursday, August 6th, 2026, reflects ongoing tensions between committee Republicans and Fauci, a key figure in the pandemic response. The committee's action underscores continuing scrutiny of the government's handling of COVID-19.
