Paul has one of Fauci's attorneys removed from hearing room

The Hill (Davis) · back to the audit

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, ordered security to remove one of Dr. Anthony Fauci's attorneys from the committee's hearing room on Wednesday after the longtime infectious disease expert invoked his Fifth Amendment right. The attorney attempted to speak several times, but Paul would not officially recognize him. Ranking member Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) attempted to use his time to let the attorney talk. Paul would not allow this either. 'Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today,' Paul said. The attorney removed is David Schertler.
