WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday an ousted health official who filed a whistleblower's complaint accusing the administration of retaliating when he voiced concerns about the coronavirus in January seemed to be a disgruntled person who wants to help Democrats
The Republican president told reporters at the White House that he did not hear good things about Rick Bright, who was ousted last month from his job as the director of a U.S. agency responsible for developing drugs to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
“I don't know who he is. I did not hear good things about him at all," Trump said. "And to me he seems like a disgruntled employee that’s trying to help the Democrats win an election."
Bright had been director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, since 2016.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees BARDA, said Bright had been moved to a new role within the National Institutes of Health.
In a whistleblower complaint filed with a government watchdog on Tuesday, Bright said that he warned about the virus in January and was met with hostility from HHS Secretary Alex Azar and other high-ranking officials in the agency.

If he’s using Blasey-Ford’s lawyers, yeah, he’s a disgruntled political ex-employee. A “call me doctor” non-doctor.
“Doc” needs to see a dermatologist. Looks like skin cancer.
Ousted but not fired. Just reassigned.
President Trump calls it as he sees it. I agree!!!
The democRATs sure do love their whistlesuckers, don’t they?
thats the plug used to fill up his head when he is low on $hit (for Brains)
No one wants to cure the Wuhan flu with a 10 cent pill.
I wonder if they used Democrat President Barack Obama in any of their stories. Nope, didn't think so.
Drain the swamp!
Those lawyers should have been repaid ten fold by now, they must have really donated heavily to Hillary to still be standing around with their hand out.
Why? Honesty isn’t their strong suit.
Probably not cancer but the results of pre-whistleblower attitude adjustment sessions.
I had skin cancer surgery on Feb. 18...in a hospital in Pennsylvania...thank goodness I had it before this person who is now a part of the WOLF ADM. just threatened hospitals in this state, if they do surgeries that are not essential.????. NO MORE PPE SUPPLIES !!!
but that is very suspicious looking..and I agree...
I thought we weren’t allow to utter the names of whistleblowers ala Eric Ciaramella and Adam Schiff.
WHO ACTUALLY FIRED DR BRIGHT??
OR WHY WAS HE REASSIGNED?
