'As a human being, how can you be okay with this?' PamelaBrownCNN presses Sen. Kennedy about Bob Woodward’s book that reveals Trump admitted to downplaying Covid-19 despite knowing how dangerous the virus was early on. Kennedy says it’s a “gotcha book.”
Journalist who broke Watergate scandal: This is "maybe the greatest presidential felony" of all time Carl Bernstein, the journalist who broke the Watergate scandal with Bob Woodward, said new reporting that shows President Trump saying that he knew the coronavirus was deadly and that he"We listen to him cover up this grave national emergency.
This is one of the great presidential felonies of all time – maybe the greatest presidential felony, and we have the smoking gun tape of the President committing the felony," Bernstein told CNN on Wednesday. Bernstein said through his handling of the pandemic, the President minimized the interest of the county, adding the President should have addressed the country with the information about the severity of the virus when he found out about it in February. "What you hear time and time again is the President forgetting about the national interest, selling out the national interest, minimizing the national interest, and putting in his own interest, that of his family, that of his own finances," he said. "That is the text of this book, not a subtext. It's the text of those tapes – undermining our well-being deliberately for his own ends. It is stunning and as I say, a presidential felony unlike any we've known of in our history," Bernstein added. Bernstein said that if Republican leaders try to contradict the tapes,"they too are responsible for what has happened here." "This is a kind of homicidal negligence. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have lost their lives because the President put his own re-election interest," he said.
