Senate Homeland Security Committee to Vote on Holding Fauci in Contempt of Congress

Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security Committee are set to vote on whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. The move comes after Fauci declined to answer their questions regarding the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vote, scheduled for Thursday, August 6th, 2026, reflects ongoing tensions between committee Republicans and Fauci over transparency and accountability related to the pandemic response.
