Former President Donald Trump responded to questions about why he did not terminate the employment of former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci amid the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, President Trump was asked about Dr. Fauci, who had been on the Trump pandemic response force, in 2020. “First of all, you’re not allowed,” the former president said when asked why he didn’t fire him, which Mr. Hewitt said was the “biggest knock” on his presidency.
