00:00Senator Paul. Yes. Mr. Chairman, on the vote of those present, the yeas are eight, the nays are five. On
00:08the vote by proxy and for the record only, the yeas are zero, the nays are two. On this vote,
00:13the yeas are eight, the nays are five, and the motion is agreed.
00:15The chair ruled that Dr. Fauci's assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege was unsupported in light of the pardon and
00:22the testimony he offered in his opening statement. The chair directed Anthony Fauci to answer. He refused again.
00:31That is what we are voting on today. Not his opinions, not his policies, not anything he said from a
00:38podium six years ago. We are voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal
00:44pardon can be ordered by this committee to answer questions and then defy that order without consequence.
