Trump tells Megyn Kelly ‘I don’t know who’ gave Fauci commendation he signed

Former President Donald Trump pleaded ignorance to journalist Megyn Kelly when asked about his elevation of Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic — insisting he had no idea who was responsible for awarding the doctor a presidential commendation signed by Trump before he departed the White House.

“Not only did you not fire Fauci, who is loathed by many — millions of Republicans in particular, but also some Democrats — you made him a star,” Kelly said during an interview that aired Thursday on SiriusXM.

“This is the criticism of you, that you made him the face of the White House Coronavirus Task Force — he was out at every presser — that he was running herd for the administration on COVID, and that you actually gave him a presidential commendation before you left office. Wouldn’t you like a do-over on that?” she asked.
