福克斯新闻数字频道证实，参议院一个关键调查小组已获取安东尼·福奇博士疫情期间使用的手机。
这部手机由美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）移交给由威斯康星州共和党参议员罗恩·约翰逊担任主席的参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会常设调查小组委员会。
这位参议员的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该小组委员会“已获取福奇博士在HHS任职期间使用的iPhone副本”。
目前尚不清楚该小组委员会是否已获取手机的访问权限。
兰德·保罗在福奇援引第五修正案超100次后寻求藐视国会指控

该委员会获取手机的消息最先由《华尔街日报》报道，此时正值参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会准备就是否认定福奇藐视国会作出决定。此前几天，HHS刚向该委员会提交了福奇超过1000页的个人日记，这场听证会也因此备受关注。
这场定于周四上午举行的听证会，缘起于委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗发出传票，要求福奇就其所谓资助中国武汉“高风险”功能获得性研究的行为作证，新冠病毒最初被认为起源于武汉。
一位接近保罗办公室的消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这位议员也掌握了这部手机。
上周的听证会本应是福奇与保罗之间的高潮对决，保罗一直要求将福奇因在国家疫情政策中的角色和所谓向国会撒谎而入狱。
但结果并未如预期。

福奇在律师建议下，出于担心自证其罪的考虑选择援引第五修正案，他指责该委员会的设立目的就是要陷害他。
“尽管这让我感到痛苦，因为我尊重政府的立法部门，也有着数十年来在律师建议下配合国会工作的记录，但我将援引宪法第五修正案赋予我的权利，拒绝回答你们的问题，”福奇说道。
随后，委员会的共和党议员向福奇连发提问，质疑他涉及所谓实验室泄漏事件的程度，正是该事件导致病毒迅速传播——甚至问到了当天是星期几。民主党议员则认为，考虑到保罗及其同僚一心要揪出福奇的谎言，他作出行使宪法权利的决定是正确的。

听证会最终以保罗誓言福奇将因拒绝回应而承担后果告终，他还质疑前总统乔·拜登给予的赦免能否保护福奇。

“我认为法院可能需要解决另一个法律问题，那就是总统赦免是否能为你提供完全的豁免权，”保罗当时说道。

Fox News Digital has confirmed that a key investigative panel in the Senate has obtained Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pandemic-era cellphone.
The cellphone was transferred from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
A spokesperson for the senator told Fox News Digital the subcommittee “obtained a copy of Dr. Fauci’s iPhone that was used during his time at HHS.”
Whether the panel has access to the phone remains unclear.
RAND PAUL SEEKS CONTEMPT CHARGES AFTER FAUCI INVOKES FIFTH AMENDMENT MORE THAN 100 TIMES

The committee’s procurement of the phone, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee readies to decide whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress. It also follows the HHS’ move to dump over 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal diary to the panel just days before the blockbuster hearing.
The hearing, slated for Thursday morning, comes after the panel’s chair, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., subpoenaed Fauci to testify on his alleged role in funding “risky” gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, where the COVID-19 virus originated.
A source close to Paul’s office told Fox News Digital that the lawmaker is also in possession of the phone.
Last week’s testimony was meant to serve as the climatic duel between Fauci and Paul, who has demanded Fauci be thrown into prison for his role in the nation’s pandemic policy and alleged lies to Congress.
But it didn’t turn out that way.

Fauci, on advice from his lawyers, opted to plead the Fifth Amendment out of concern about self-incrimination before a panel that he charged was designed to ensnare him.
“Although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci said.
What ensued was Republicans on the panel peppering Fauci with questions probing his involvement in an alleged lab leak that led to the virus’ rapid spread to what day of the week it was. Democrats charged that his decision to activate his constitutional rights was the right call given Paul and his colleagues’ determination to catch him in a lie.

And it culminated in Paul vowing that Fauci would face consequences for declining to comment and questioning whether his pardon from former President Joe Biden could protect him.

“I think there’s another legal question that the courts may have to decide upon, and that is whether or not a presidential pardon offers you complete immunity,” Paul said at the time.
Fox News Digital did not immediately receive comment from HHS on Fauci’s pandemic-era iPhone.
