Nobodys buying Trumps sudden concern for Dr. Anthony Faucis time as the reason hes being prevented from testifying to a House pandemic oversight committee.
By NewsHound Ellen
After screwing up the U.S. pandemic response, Donald Trump is now working to prevent Americans from finding out just how bad it was. Yesterday, The Washington Post reported that the White House claimed it blocked Fauci from testifying at a House committee hearing investigating the coronavirus outbreak and response because it would be counterproductive while the Trump administration is engaged in its "whole-of-government response to COVID-19."
Sure it would be. Counterproductive to Trumps attempts to shirk responsibility for his mishandling of the pandemic, they mean. In addition to blocking Fauci from the House (but making him available to the GOP-controlled Senate), Trump also just got rid of the HHS inspector general, Christi Grimm, in a late Friday night firing.
A stellar panel on AM Joy saw the obstruction efforts for what they are. Rep. Katie Porter highlighted how Trump is systematically blocking crucial information needed by the public.

(11,495 posts)and testify before the House pandemic oversight committee. If trump fires him he can go to work for Biden and then we might find out a whole lot more about when trump knew about the pandemic coming, and why he ignored it!
I mean "what can he lose?"
