Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, orders Capitol security to remove one of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attorneys from a committee hearing room during Wednesday’s proceedings. Multiple reports say the attorney attempted to speak several times, but Paul does not recognize him as permitted under the committee’s procedures. The dispute occurs as Fauci invokes his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. According to coverage, Paul cites courtroom or hearing rules to justify the decision and indicates the attorney’s participation is not authorized under the committee’s format. The New York Post and The Hill both describe the attorney being escorted out by Capitol Police, while the Mint report characterizes the moment as occurring amid testimony where Fauci invokes the Fifth Amendment. The accounts focus on Paul’s enforcement of rules and the removal of Fauci’s lawyer from the hearing room following the Fifth Amendment invocation, without detailing any broader legal ruling in the summary reports.
