A CNN analyst effectively admitted the inauspicious timing surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci's sudden announcement of his planned retirement at the end of the year. Watch:

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN Medical Analyst and a Professor of Medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, explained there may be political consequences coming for Dr. Fauci during the next Congress.

"Just last month Dr. Fauci was on and I had asked him, there had been some talk, about his retirement plans, and I asked him about if and when he would retire, I want to play for you part of what he told me," Kate Bolduan said.

"I can't be in this job forever," Fauci says in the rolled clip. "And I don't anticipate I'll be in this job... at the end of the first term of President Biden, which is January 2025."

"At that point, he said that to me because he was trying to get everyone to tamp down talk of his retirement," Bolduan claimed. "And, but he did make clear, that no matter when it would be, which now we know would be in December, that it was not the end of his career. And... one of the things that I know that he says that he wants to do is to inspire the next generation of scientific leaders. What do you think that looks like?"
