Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right in a Senate hearing, citing legal advice and Senator Rand Paul’s relentless push for his prosecution as reasons for remaining silent—despite having testified before Congress many times. Paul, known for promoting the lab-leak theory, pressed Fauci on whether he privately favored that origin over the natural spillover theory, despite Fauci’s public stance. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, not guilt, and Fauci emphasized the constitutional right to avoid coercion. While scientists debate the virus’s origin—with no consensus—Fauci clarified that the existence of two theories doesn’t make them equally probable.
