WASHINGTON (TNND) — In his first full year of retirement, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s reported household assets climbed more than $3.5 million, bringing his total to more than $15 million. He also delayed his retirement to reap taxpayer funding.

Rachel O’Brien, the Public Policy editor at Open the Books, says the reason the American Public can see Fauci’s assets is because his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, remains the Chief Bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health.

Her position is going to be reassigned under President Donald Trump’s administration.
