Paul claimed that the attorney, David Schertler, was not authorized to speak and had been instructed to not sit at the witness table with Fauci \u2014 but he did so anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive. Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can\u2019t do that today. But I can have you escorted from the premises,\u201d Paul told Schertler.<\/p>\n

Schertler continued to speak with Paul and Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) asked for the attorney to be given an opportunity \u2014 but was denied.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a row behind you, sir. That\u2019s where you were told to sit \u2026 and now you\u2019re disrupting the proceedings,\u201d added Paul. \u201cThis is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered: For a lawyer not listening to the rules. That\u2019s the way you want to be remembered, and that\u2019s what you\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not recognized, sir,\u201d Paul declared. \u201cSecurity, please remove him from the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
