From Washington: Blanche Blocked, Fauci Pleads the Fifth, and a Texas Toss-Up

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

Former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci faced an intense Senate hearing this week, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during questioning on the COVID-19 pandemic. With Dr. Fauci now facing a potential contempt of Congress resolution, FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins The Rundown to recap the hearing, and explain why President Trump may withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General. Later, Director of the FOX News Decision Desk Arnon Mishkin explains why Texas Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico is currently leading Ken Paxton in the polls, and whether he stands a chance of realizing the Democratic party’s decades-long campaign to turn the lone star state blue.   Learn more about your ad choices.
