The Republican push to prosecute Fauci has ‘stalled’: report
- Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress has reportedly stalled amid concern from the White House that it’s not legally sound.
- On August 6, GOP lawmakers in the Senate voted to refer Fauci to the Justice Department for contempt, after the health expert repeatedly declined to answer their questions.
- Since then, The Wall Street Journal reports, there’s been little progress on the effort, with the Trump administration reportedly unsure if it will survive a court challenge because it avoided the usual full floor vote for a contempt allegation.
