White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci provided more details about when he might retire, saying it will likely happen once COVID-19 is “under control.”

Speaking to the Independent newspaper Thursday, Fauci again suggested he will retire: “You know, to be honest with you, I certainly will some time, and I don’t think it’s going to be a very long time from now.”
