The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former NIAID director, invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 100 times at a congressional hearing on the COVID-19 pandemic. President Donald Trump said he would not challenge former President Joe Biden’s pardon of Fauci, calling the pardon power one of the presidency’s strongest authorities. Newly released Fauci diary entries totaling 1,141 pages included his account of Trump’s disinfectant-treatment briefing, while former CBS journalist Brittney Hopper said she was taken off air after questioning Fauci during the pandemic.
