U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci called out Sen. Rand Paul during a Congressional hearing, accusing the lawmaker of spreading bad information and inciting death threats against him over Fauci's work on the pandemic. Watch more here:
Fauci, holding some literature published by Paul's office calling for the scientist's firing, said a California man was arrested in Iowa on Dec. 21 driving from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., with the intent of killing several government officials, including Fauci.
