'I'd Like to Ask Unanimous Consent to Enter…' — C-SPAN

I'd like to ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a letter from the Department of Energy that confirms during Anthony Fauci's tenure that Bill Gates was given cue security clearance from 2014 to 2021. Without objection, that will be entered into the record. I'd also ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the contents of the folder of authorities provided to Dr. Fauci, including the pardon. Let's be clear today, you know what we've seen. I really did want to hear from Dr. Fauci. I wanted to hear perhaps an apology, perhaps some semblance of being sorry for what happened or that judgment errors were made. We didn't hear any of that. But he was subpoenaed here to testify, refused to answer any questions even after being directed by the chair and being advised of the law requiring him to do so. He has cited a privilege that is unsupported because of his blanket pardon and because he waived the privilege by testifying at the start. I'm going to give you one more opportunity to comply with the law, limited to the period of your pardon at any point between January 1st, 2014 and January 18th, 2025. Did you destroy any federal record or tell anyone else to? Thank you. Under the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Given that you have a unlimited presidential pardon, what is your specific objection that you are making? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. My question was limited to the period of your pardon only. I find your objection unsupported and direct you to answer the question. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Because you refused to answer citing a privilege that is unsupported because of your pardon and after being denied to do so, this committee is scheduled to vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt.
