(2023)politifact.comDuring an interview with former President Donald Trump, journalist Megyn Kelly pressed the former president about his management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than answer Kelly's question, Trump claimed ignorance, saying he didn't know who gave Fauci the commendation. Kelly reminded Trump, "It's a presidential commendation." "I really don't know who gave him the commendation," Trump replied. Trump, who has previously touted his "great memory," is right that someone handed Fauci a presidential commendation.
