Rand Paul surprised Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment despite immunity 

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he was surprised Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment during Wednesday’s hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, despite a preemptive pardon from former President Biden.

“Were you surprised that he decided now to take the Fifth, given you guys have had back-and-forths in testimony previously, and why do you think he did?” NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich asked the Kentucky Republican.

“You know, I was kind of surprised, you know, he’s been granted a very broad pardon, a 10-year pardon,” Paul replied.

“The only person that I know of in history who’s gotten a pardon this broad has been Hunter Biden, maybe not the best category or company to keep, but yeah I was surprised. He’s been given a pardon,” he added.
