What we can confirm

Multiple major news outlets and analyses report that at a July 29, 2026, US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing focused on Covid-19 origins, Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self‑incrimination and declined to answer dozens, and by some accounts more than 100, questions from senators about Covid origins and related issues.[1][2][3][4][5][10][13] This clearly supports the claim that he refused to answer questions during that hearing.
