Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, said he had received an envelope of powder from an unknown source at one point during the coronavirus pandemic.
He made the admission in an interview with The New York Times about his experiences working for former President Trump.
"[O]ne day I got a letter in the mail, I opened it up and a puff of powder came all over my face and my chest. That was very, very disturbing to me and my wife because it was in my office," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told the Times. "So I just looked at it all over me and said, 'What do I do?' The security detail was there, and they're very experienced in that. They said, 'Don't move, stay in the room.' And they got the hazmat people. So they came, they sprayed me down and all that."
Fauci said the substance was tested and determined to be a "benign nothing," but that it was a frightening experience regardless. He added that he was unaware of whether then-President Trump was briefed on the incident, nor did he alert anyone close to Trump.

(4,246 posts)Their threatening language on facebook, etc. tells me that they would like to do me harm because I'm a Democrat. This is from people in my large extended family. They frighten me and I do not want them around me. I can imagine the frightening threats Fauchi has gotten.
