COVID controversy at the Capitol. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News.
What is happening at Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Senate hearing and why were his private diaries released?
Dr. Anthony Fauci will be at a Senate hearing this hour. Fox's Chad Pergam is there.
He's going to be asked questions about his diaries, the start of the pandemic, what started it, did it come from the lab, did it come from a bat, questions about the pandemic, and also if you look at some of these diary entries, whether or not he was more focused on trying to get attention for himself compared to trying to address the pandemic.
Fauci's A private diary has been made public ahead of the hearing by the Republican senator who has sparred with the doctor at hearings in the past.
Rand Paul said that he just wants the truth. He said so long as he says what's the truth, that's fine. But he says if he says something new here and something that is contradictory or he doesn't tell the truth, keep in mind that that is not handled by that pardon extended by former President Biden.
Last night, the Senate gave initial approval to Roy Russia and Iran sanctions bill, named for late Senator Lindsey Graham, who'd been pushing it.
How are senators like Rand Paul framing questions about Fauci’s pandemic response and potential contradictions?
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was at the Senate for that vote and tells Fox's Hannity, We want to stop this war. Zelensky and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also attended Graham's funeral at Washington's National Cathedral. The late senator will be laid to rest today after another funeral in South Carolina. Zelensky and Netanyahu also met with President Trump, and the Israeli leader also tells Fox's Hannity it was a great discussion.

A school shooter in Georgia, locked up for good. The slain will not return to life, the injured will not forget their wounds, and a 16-year-old boy will live and die in prison.
Judge Nicholas Prim sentencing Colt Gray to life without parole for murdering two students and two teachers at Appalachia High School in 2024. Colt's father, Colin, will be sentenced tomorrow, convicted of murder and manslaughter for providing his son the gun used in the shooting. Now an update on the Charlie Kirk murder case. Prosecutors are urging the judge in Utah to set a trial date for Tyler Robinson.
As the court nears a decision on whether it'll officially proceed in their comprehensive state memorandum, arguing the evidence connecting the Utah man to the assassination of Charlie Kirk overwhelmingly establishes probable cause on every charge and that the conservative activist was attacked for his political views, citing his opposition to gay marriage and transgender rights. The defense is expected to file its written opposition in the coming weeks, followed by a final response from prosecutors before oral arguments are scheduled for September 1st. Lillian Wu, Fox News.

Earlier in the afternoon, James Duckett died using the same drug injections in the same death chamber.
