“[O]The day I received a letter in the mail, I opened it and a pulse appeared all over my face and chest. It was very, very disturbing for me and my wife because she was in my office, “the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told the Times.” So I looked at it. even though I said, “What do I do? The security details were there and they have a lot of experience in that. They said, ‘Don’t move, stay in the room.'” And they got people hazmat. So they came. , they scattered me and all that ”.
Fauci said the substance was tested and determined to be “nothing benign,” but that it was a terrifying experience regardless. He added that he did not know if President Trump was then informed of the incident or alerted anyone close to Trump.

Fauci has become one of the most prominent government health officials during the coronavirus pandemic and surveys regularly indicate that he is the most reliable. But he and his family have also received numerous death threats, saying he was “infuriated” last week.
Fauci also told the newspaper that neither Trump nor the former president’s inner circle admitted he had been right about the virus even after the then president was hospitalized with the coronavirus. Still, he described himself as not worried about being fired by Trump, though he joked at a rally about doing exactly that.
“I thought I wouldn’t. I think so. People said, ‘Oh, weren’t you horrified that you got a call the next day?’ “I didn’t think at all that he would fire me. It was, you know, Donald Trump being Donald Trump.”
Fauci was frequently removed during the Trump administration, but was eventually never fired. President Biden made Fauci his chief medical adviser at COVID-19.
