Trump and Megyn Kelly Clash Over Fauci's Commendation and Trump's COVID Credit
Former President Donald Trump claimed ignorance about who gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation signed by Trump before he left office, during an interview with journalist Megyn Kelly. Trump defended his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that he let governors run their states and criticized Fauci's role. He also expressed frustration over not receiving enough credit for his pandemic response and touted his achievements in the economy, military, and tax cuts. Trump and Kelly famously clashed during the 2016 campaign but have since reconciled, marking their first sit-down interview in seven years.
