Faucis diary reveals blunt views on Trump, media and officials before Senate testimony release. us [n7UT1r30ZVl]
Dr. Anthony Fauci's newly released COVID diarypulls back the curtain on what he really thought about the politicians, media figures and celebrities around him. He wrote that President Trump once called him "the smartest person in the world" and later appeared "enamored" with him. He described Oracle founder Larry Ellison as "a bit of a loose cannon" and blasted then-HHS official Michael Caputo as "a con man who is completely full of sh--." After The Atlantic's Peter Nicholas suggested Fauci had been "humiliated" over a canceled CNN interview, Fauci fired back in his diary: "F--- you, Peter." The entries, released by Sen. Rand Paul ahead of Fauci's Senate testimony, offer an unusually personal look at Fauci's relationships inside the White House, the media and Hollywood.
