'The Task Force reports released today show the White House has known since June that coronavirus cases were surging across the country and many states were becoming dangerous 'red zones' where the virus was spreading fast,' Rep. James Clyburn said.
The House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus published eight weeks of state coronavirus reports, which are prepared by the task force and sent privately to governors.
The reports directly contradict optimistic messaging pushed by President Donald Trump and other administration officials over the summer, the Democrat-led committee said. "Rather than being straight with the American people and creating a national plan to fix the problem, the President and his enablers kept these alarming reports private while publicly downplaying the threat to millions of Americans," subcommittee Chairman James Clyburn, D-S.C., said in a statement.
