NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The US Congress has the authority to hold individuals in contempt if they are deemed to be withholding information or interfering with congressional investigations. Anthony Fauci, as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been a key figure in the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and his testimony has been sought by congressional committees on several occasions. The referral of contempt charges to the Justice Department is a significant step, as it could potentially lead to criminal prosecution.
