Rep. Clyburn, chair of the House S/C on coronavirus crisis, just released 6 weeks of WH Coronavirus Task Force reports obtained by the committee showing the WH was aware of an alarming rise in COVID cases as Trump publicly downplayed it and held crowded events.
The reports show the WH knew after Labor Day that COVID cases were spiking but chose to hide the reports, says the committee.
Meanwhile, Trump was saying COVID “affects virtually nobody” + hosted potential superspreaders in states the WH task force warned had rising cases.
The White House task force reports specifically warned of rising COVID cases in Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Carolina -- all places that Trump went ahead and held potential superspreader events in anyway.
