The committee0:14chairman, Rand Paul, pushed the contempt0:16vote. Dr. Fauci, the target, had refused0:19to answer questions and President0:21Trump's Justice Department will now0:22decide whether to take the case forward,0:24[music] a decision that according to CBC0:26News correspondent Steve Fetterman,0:28could effectively be Trump's own.0:30>> The sequence began when Fauci refused to0:31answer questions citing his Fifth0:34Amendment right more than 100 times.0:36That led to Wednesday's party line vote0:38and the chairman is now bypassing the0:39customary full Senate route to send the0:41matter straight to the Justice0:42Department. Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth0:44Amendment right more than 100 times0:46during that appearance frustrating0:48Republicans who argued only he could0:50answer critical pandemic questions.0:58Had the citation followed the normal0:59path, it would have faced a Democratic1:02filibuster and almost certainly died.1:04Instead, the chairman is using his power1:06to send it directly to the Justice1:08Department where prosecutors will decide1:10the next move. Democrats on the1:11committee called the proceedings1:13political theater and a show trial1:15insisting the vote leaves the panel1:16without answers needed to prepare for1:18future pandemics. The party line outcome1:20now puts the fate of the contempt charge1:22in the hands of an administration that1:24Rand Paul believes shares his goal1:26putting Dr. Fauci behind bars. Whether1:28the Justice Department will open a1:29criminal case remains the open and1:31consequential question.阅读文章事件时间线HeyDex短视频 ↗
