Fauci: Trump White House Interfered in Covid Response

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' Testimony Reveals Political Pressure

Meadows: "We wanted to make sure we didn't sound alarmist"

In a stunning revelation, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has testified that the Trump administration interfered in the Covid-19 response for political reasons.

"We wanted to make sure we didn't sound alarmist," Meadows said in his testimony before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.

Meadows' testimony contradicts previous claims by the Trump administration that they followed the advice of public health experts. It suggests that political considerations, rather than scientific evidence, guided the administration's response to the pandemic.

The committee has subpoenaed numerous Trump administration officials, including Meadows and former President Donald Trump. The committee is expected to release a report on its findings in the coming months.

The revelation comes as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to ravage the United States, with over 600,000 deaths reported. The Delta variant has caused a resurgence in cases, particularly in areas with low vaccination rates.

Fauci, who is President Biden's chief medical adviser, has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic. He has said that the administration's efforts to downplay the virus and promote unproven treatments contributed to the high death toll.
