Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Faucimay be spending more time in the Deep South than he envisioned after officials in Alabama and Florida announced plans to investigate whether he can be held accountable under state law for maladministration of the COVID-19 response.
Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during a Senate hearing Wednesday.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., argued that former President Joe Biden’s blanket pardon eliminated Fauci’s federal criminal exposure for covered conduct and undercut his basis for refusing to answer.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., alluded to that detail and told Fox News Digital that same pardon cannot prevent prosecution at the state level under the Constitution — which says presidential pardons cover "offenses (sic) against the United States."
