Aaron, thanks very much. Good evening everybody. Typically we try to start at their program

with the latest medical and health information about the coronavirus. It's spread, the

promise of therapies, the information you need to know in the middle of a pandemic. And

we still will do that tonight. We'll have all that information. But tonight we want

to start with the information that you aren't getting now and won't soon get about the

pandemic. Multiple reports tonight once again showed this administration's attempt to

resist lawful oversight and its contempt for whistleblowers and independent inspector generals.

First regarding the coronavirus task force it appears the president wants to end it. They're

talking about ending the task force in the middle of the pandemic. The cases are still rising.

They rose by at least 1,938 today in fact, but they want to dissolve the task force.

The president confirmed it while on a trip to a mass-making factory in Arizona today.

Vice President says this should happen around Memorial Day, which is 20 days from now.

That's why he would end the task force now. This is how the president responded.

With the doctors saying that there might be a recurrence of the coronavirus in the fall,

why can you just explain why is now the time to wind down that task force?

Well, because we can't keep our country closed for the next five years. You know, you

can say there might be a recurrence and there might be. And you know, most doctors or

some doctors say that it will happen and it'll be a flame and we're going to put the

flame out. We've learned a lot.

So just keep it in my honest here, no one has said close the country for five years.

That's just a complete exaggeration. The president is admitting the crisis is not going

away, but he is certainly trying to downplay the potential risks saying it will be a flame
