Former Trump White House aide Alyssah Farah Griffen says she had to 'work around' orders from other senior staff who wanted to limit TV appearances by Fauci and Birx during the early months of the pandemic.
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marty Makary on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' biggest mistakes in COVID response as Dr. Anthony Fauci prepares for retirement.
Farah, who now co-hosts The View, claimed that she had to end-run signals from Trump's 2020 re-election campaign, which she claimed wanted to talk about COVID-19 less since it wasn’t"driving home a message" for Trump’s reelection. "And at one point Kellyanne Conway told me, ‘Do not put the’ — she and Hope cornered me in the Oval in front of the President and said, ‘Alyssa, keeps putting the doctors on TV. It’s driving down the numbers. It’s scaring people over COVID. You need to tell her not to have the doctors on.’ And so the President told me point-blank to not have them on TV anymore.
The transcript of Farah's testimony was released this week among a tranche of transcripts from interviews conducted by the House Jan. 6 committee.
