A US Senate committee has voted to hold Fauci in contempt following his refusal to answer questions at a Congressional hearing last week.
The committee will now refer the matter for potential prosecution. The move marks a formal escalation after Fauci declined to respond to questions put to him during the hearing.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the committee involved, the subject of the questions, the vote margin, or the grounds Fauci gave for refusing to answer.
The latest known position is that the committee has approved the contempt action and will proceed with a referral for possible prosecution.
