Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in a radio interview on Monday downplayed critical remarks against him made by President Donald Trump, who said “people are tired of hearing Fauci” and called him a “disaster.”

Fauci told California radio station KNX1070 that Trump’s comments were a “distraction,” and said he didn’t take them personally.
