Trump administration calls his Fox News interview 'a core government function'

By Dan Desai Martin -May 5, 2020 12:44 PM

Donald Trump used the Fox News interview to complain about the media and attack Democratic governors.

Interior Secretary David Bernhardt claimed Donald Trump's Fox News interview at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday was a critical government function during the coronavirus crisis — and lifted the ban on such events to allow it to happen.

"Given the extraordinary crisis that the American people have endured, and the need for the President to exercise a core governmental function to address the Nation about an ongoing public-health crisis, I am exercising my authority to facilitate the opportunity for the President to conduct this address within the Lincoln Memorial," Bernhardt wrote in a Friday order to the National Park Service.

Trump's interview "will illuminate and reflect the values of our Nation during an unprecedented public-health crisis," Bernhardt added.

Trump used much of his interview seated beside the statue of Abraham Lincoln to recount his standard grievances about the media and Democratic politicians.
