Karine Jean-Pierre briefs the press alongside COVID-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha & Fauci

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admonished Today News Africa correspondent Simon Ateba for speaking out of turn in his attempt to ask a question of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Fauci took part in Tuesday’s press briefing, which is likely to be his last before retiring as White House chief medical advisor. As Fauci urged the public to remain vigilant to the threat of Covid, Ateba cut off CNN’s Jeremy Diamond by demanding a follow-up on The Daily Caller’s Diana Glebova’s question about the origin of the coronavirus.
