We know from Peter Navarro, Fauci wasn’t giving Trump or Pence the straight scoop on many things..
That the same Pete Navarro who warmed Trump in a late January 2020 memo about this thing exploding badly in Wuhan and how it would be a big sucker punch to the US if not prepared? Or maybe that was the NSC China specialist Matt Pottinger? Regardless, I heard later with my very own ears (unless it was an incredible impressionist) POTUS in the phone tape with Woodward giving him the straight scoop on that terror, although the stump speeches at the time for the crowds were quite the opposite (“i.e, it’s a scam, a hoax.”)
