    Mace says Fauci has 'no legal grounds' to plead the Fifth. The law says otherwise.

    Rep. Nancy Mace issued a press statement on July 29, 2026, claiming that because Anthony Fauci holds a Biden pardon, he has 'no legal grounds' to invoke the Fifth Amendment. The statement contains a critical legal error: the pardon covers past conduct, not future perjury, which is exactly what Fauci said he was protecting himself from. Mace's position also directly contradicts her separate statement calling the same pardon 'legally questionable,' and her track record on Fifth Amendment invocations suggests the legal framing is politically, not principally, driven.
