The Senate Majority leader did his about face in an interview with Fox News.
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., admitted he was wrong when he that the Obama administration never left a plan for President Donald Trump for how to handle a pandemic.
McConnell added,"As to whether or not the plan was followed and who's the critic and all the rest, I don't have any observation about that because I don't know enough about the details of that, Brett, to comment on it in any detail." Former Obama administration officials, however, said that they did share with the incoming Trump administration plans for handling a pandemic.
McConnell's walkback on Thursday came after Trump told reporters on his way to Pennsylvania earlier in the day that he was given very little when he came into office.
