Congressional Testimony Battles Over COVID and Political Bias

Showing 10 Congressional Testimony videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Several distinct rounds of congressional testimony surface in this material, most involving witnesses who either invoked the Fifth Amendment or clashed directly with the lawmakers questioning them. Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly pleaded the Fifth in response to even basic questions, prompting Senator Josh Hawley to note the tactic's strangeness given Fauci's own presidential pardon, which legal experts say should have removed any need for the protection; Hawley separately confronted Fauci over more than a million dollars in personal cash awards received during the pandemic. Senator Rand Paul has argued the pardon itself may not hold up, since it was signed by autopen rather than personally by President Biden, potentially leaving Fauci exposed to perjury charges over his past statements on gain-of-function research funding. Candace Owens has testified before Congress on several separate occasions, defending herself against a deceptively edited clip of her discussing Hitler and nationalism, challenging a hearing on white nationalism she characterized as politically motivated, and arguing against reparations proposals. A separate hearing produced testimony that COVID-origin documents Congress had legally required to be declassified were withheld, with a witness stating under oath that the government's public conclusions were false.
