White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is praising Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him an “undeniable asset” following a question about the thousands of emails made public from the health expert’s work emails.
During a White House press briefing on Thursday, a reporter mentioned the email exchanges between Fauci and National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, reportedlydiscussing the COVID-19 lab-leak theory. She noted Collins denied jumping to conclusions about the theory and his references to conspiracies were meant to describe claims that the virus was engineered as a “bioweapon.”
The reporter asked Psaki, “Is that the position of the administration and their top health experts that this was not engineered or is that still an open question as part of this review?”
Psaki replied, “On Dr. Fauci and his emails … He’s been an undeniable asset in our country’s pandemic response but it’s obviously not that advantageous for me to re-litigate the substance of emails from 17 months ago.”
