A US Senate committee voted along party lines to hold former health chief Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions at a hearing on Covid origins, sending the case to the Justice Department for possible prosecution; Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, while his lawyer denounced the move as a political stunt as debates over the pandemic and its origins continue.
