Dr. Anthony Fauci had refused to answer questions at a hearing last week, invoking the Fifth Amendment. Republicans argued he wasn’t entitled to that protection because he had a presidential pardon.The vote once again exposed the sharp partisan divisions around Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who served for nearly 40 years as the government’s top infectious disease expert and was well regarded by both parties until the pandemic turned him into a polarizing figure.
