Why was Dr. Anthony Fauci held in contempt of Congress and what are the political implications?
Dr. Anthony Fauci held in contempt of Congress. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, a week after answering no questions at a Senate COVID hearing.
All he had to do was tell the truth. More than 100 times, though, he refused. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul says Fauci already had a Biden pardon for the COVID response. More than a million Americans died from COVID. Many of them died alone. Workers were forced to choose between a mandate and a job they needed. Businesses closed and never reopened. Children lost years of school they will never get back.
Paul and the Republicans on the committee approved the contempt resolution this morning and will refer to the Justice Department to consider prosecuting Fauci. Senator Maggie Hassan and the Democrats opposed that and were outvoted eight to seven.
What are the details of the arson case and wildfire emergencies in Spokane, Washington?
So who's helped by this political theater? It's certainly not this committee, which now goes without answers to the important questions about our pandemic response that would help us prepare for future pandemics.
Dr. Fauci's lawyer put out a statement calling the vote a stunt to punish him, but insists the doctor committed no crime and has saved countless lives and 50 years of public health. Arraignment is today for an accused arsonist in Spokane, Washington.
Aaron Farnacci is charged with first-degree arson on suspicion of causing just the devastation in those neighborhoods in northwest Spokane.
Fox's Sarah Allegra outside the court.
Crews continue to battle that Old Trails fire along with two other major ones burning here. Incident Command tells me the Old Trails fire alone destroyed more than 600 structures. Another 200-plus were destroyed by the Autumn Lane and Fairview fires, bringing the total to nearly 900 buildings damaged or lost here.
Iran and Oman reportedly close to an agreement to get shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz after President Trump warned Iran is their last chance to work out a deal.
How are Iran, Oman, and the Strait of Hormuz negotiations affecting global shipping?
Three Ukrainians are dead after another Russian bombardment as Ukraine counterattacks hitting more Russian oil refineries with drones. America's listening to Fox News. While President Trump keeps pausing attacks on Iran, hoping another round of talks can finally work out a deal to denuclearize Iran, the conflict in Lebanon has flared back up. Two Israeli soldiers have been killed, four badly wounded. A building they went into as part of a security sweep exploded. Israel retaliated with strikes targeting Hezbollah militants. And there's news out of the West Bank.
It's rare for Israel to charge Jewish settlers with violence against Palestinians. Yanon Levy is accused of reckless manslaughter over the death of Palestinian activist Oda Hathalim in July last year. Levi was shown on video firing into crowds of Palestinians in Hathalin's village on the day he died. Palestinians seek the West Bank as the core of a future independent state, but the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expanded settlement there by Israelis. Hathalin advocated against settler violence and was involved in an Oscar-winning film on the subject in 2025.
What is the latest on Israeli‑Palestinian tensions and the West Bank settler violence case?
Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
The CDC is expanding its probe into contaminated iceberg lettuce in 15 states now in the cyclosporiasis outbreak that's sickened thousands of Americans with nasty diarrhea and other ailments. That may just be one cause. Infections have been reported in nearly every state. Michigan hit hardest. And there's also a salmonella scare that's made 36 people sick in the hospital blamed on tainted jalapenos.
The feds say the peppers came from Sinaloa, Mexico, and were distributed by Coast Citrus distributors. They primarily went to restaurants and wholesalers, but the FDA is working to determine if recalled jalapenos went to grocery stores. Coast Citrus has been notifying its customers, and after being told about the outbreak, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba stopped serving affected jalapenos. Jill Nadeau, Fox News.

On Wall Street, the Dow is dropping 186 points from yesterday's record high. The Nasdaq is up 51.
