White House braces for congressional probes of coronavirus response

of the White House’s coronavirus task force, where he is intimately familiar with the work being done by multiple different agencies involved in the response.

Lawyers for the House of Representatives reached out to the president’s outside legal counsel earlier this week seeking for them to join a potential motion to hold oral arguments for two cases seeking financial records via teleconference and Trump’s legal team declined this offer, according to sources familiar with communications. Unlike many lower federal courts, the Supreme Court does not conduct hearings by phone or videoconference.

Now, multiple oversight entities in Congress are vying to examine the administration's coronavirus response. Thus far, only Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced his pick for the panel: Bharat Ramamurti, the former deputy policy director for economic policy for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have yet to announce their appointments. McConnell and Pelosi must jointly appoint the fifth member, and it’s unclear where their negotiations stand.

Good. They should.

Can't happen quick enough

Does anyone really believe that they will send one witness to testify before Congress about anything?...ever?

Any investigation will be botched and we still won’t know the truth.

Wouldn’t it have been easier for the WhiteHouse to prepare for the actual pandemic?

Damn straight! Hint. The brace you're using won't help you.

This time let's use a lie detector.

This is what happens when you don’t prepare for a pandemic, you have to prepare for congressional hearings and a possible new impeachment . . .

And then Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy along with Ronna and the lovely Kayleigh McEnany will appear on Fox News to announce that the Democrats distracted Trump with the probe and kept him from being prepared for COVID19.

Bracing sounds like something your doctor tells you to do when getting a prostate exam. Or the pilot tells you just before crashing. I bet this is similar.

They better be preparing for prison when we kick all them out in November✅ RepMarkMeadows GOPLeader senatemajldr SenateGOP HouseGOP IvankaTrump

So, they CAN prepare for something after all.

If they braced for Covid-19...they wouldn't have to brace for this. But, they've (once again) brought this on themselves.

Preparing = deleting material and covering up. It's standard for this 'administration.'

That means destroy all correspondence, defy all subpoenas and fire anyone who may even be considering speaking the truth.

Impeachment 2?

If by preparing you mean shredding documents and coordinating their lies, you are probably correct.

Live look in at the WH’s efforts:

Good. They should have braced for COVID-19.

abcnews and dnc Braces for their part of Sedition to be revealed

If only they'd prepped a Coronavirus response.

That means time to hide all transcripts.

Election year, dem controlled House, dem candidate sucks and needs all the help he can get. I wonder how this 'probe' is gonna go?

Chloroquine

Trump was warned, did nothing, misinformed the public, and is 100% responsible for this mess. His incompetence absolutely should be investigated TrumpOwnsEveryDeath 25thAmendmentNow

investigate congress please stop this madness.

Benchmark for failure.

The WH and GOP will just spin it like the impeachment and claim the Democrats and never Trumpers are just out to get him. It will be another dog and pony show causing noise. Everyone already knows Trump and GOP screwed up and the ones who don’t never will understand

Nonsense

why don’t you talk about Trump’s early travel ban and how he was criticized for this smart and crucial move ... thanks

Probe away!

It would have been nice if the WH had “braced” for the coronavirus.

Yeah, where is that stimulus check ?

TrumpBurialPits TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

They did nothing. They knew. They did nothing.

where was Congress during all this? oh yeah, impeaching. and where is it now? oh yeah out on recess. speakerpelosi bradsherman fail

Bend over Don you're going to get probed again

Here we go again...

He's taken everything else thrown at him. You think this matters?

What a bunch of wimp reporters and even wimpier Democrats

As corruption blooms, are investigations simply weapons?

I bet the WH is putting way way WAY more efforts in their response to the probes to the coronavirus response than the response to the virus itself!!!

eventually we will reverse 2016

Trump's doing a great job!! Time to investigate the Bidens!! According to Dems standards, Joe already qualifies for impeachment.

No one trusts FakeNews. Shut off your computers. Turn off your lights. Lock your doors. America no longer trusts ABC News.

Easier than Congress addressing real issues...

So.... no preparation for the deadly pandemic, but.... preparations for the resulting probes. How Trumpish.

By Democrats? Of course they will label most measures as racist. DJT campaign should focus on this virus he will easily get re elected. All he said before fit into the Virus story, easy win for him 2020

This is great! Just what the country needs is another investigation of Trump that will go nowhere and cost us money and time. I have a novel idea the Democrats, just do something productive for once. WTF.

If everything was as perfect as Trump says then they shouldn’t have to “brace” for a probe. They should say “bring it on”. No need to hide documents or suppress testamony.

When the first Coronavirus was reported Trump acted immediately. We got misinformation from the WHO and China. Trump put Pence in place to head up this problem and both did a wonderful job keeping us as safe as possible

Death is death! Americans still can’t get tests.Doctors,Nurses,Emt,Nursing home workers,Social workers and anyone else cannot get the gear they need to fight virus!Americans forced to go on line to vote , unemployment lines, sick on u Trump! Americans get lies everyday !!!!

You mean dems next impeachment hoax? Is there anyone who didn’t see this coming?

he's going down on this one THIS IS IMPEACHMENT AND HIS WHOLE PARTY we keep blaming him rightly so BUT IT'S THE PARTY. this virus hit when the impeachment was going on it was up to the party to still govern. HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE GRAVES FOR THE VICTIMS OF THIS VIRUS IN NEW YORK AP

Correction: partisan investigations

ABC News (future) Headline: “Republicans have investigated themselves, and have found no wrongdoing.”

Trumpy 🍊 said, “ I get great ratings, better than MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 🏈 AND THE BACHELOR FINALE.”— talking about his press briefings on the coronavirus POTUS

Inviting trump to Easter brunch. Got any good recommendations? openbyEaster

...this realm has had enough of your lies. Matthew 7:15 ESV “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Angry mob? ✔️ Torches? ✔️ ok, I think it’s time the village has put up long enough with this monster.

He’ll get away with it again, he always does!

We understand Pelosi is a POS.

WH awaits another bogus impeachment trial. There fixed the headline.

No. Congress wasted enough of our money and time with the pathetic impeachment crap. A new investigation is not necessary.

Do Pelosi first

Prepare yourself. Just hope the lube is warm 👍

White House coronavirus official says they're investigating when social distancing can be relaxedDr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, says officials are looking at areas in the US where mitigation efforts seem to be working to determine if social distancing guidelines could be relaxed at the end of April.

Damning Report Finds White House Ignored Skeletal Horsemen Galloping Through Sky As Early As JanuaryWASHINGTON—In a very serious and damning new report published Wednesday, a government watchdog group has found that, as early as January, White House officials failed to heed repeated warnings of impending doom that arrived via four skeletal horsemen galloping through the sky. “On Jan. 3, the Trump administration received its first notification that a quartet of ghostly riders had barreled out of the endless night—auguring death, despair, and a great cataclysm upon the earth—but the president did not begin to take the threat seriously until mid-March,” said Douglas Reisenthaler of the nonpartisan Institute for Federal Policy, a co-author of the report compiled from interviews with sources who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss torrents of blood raining from the Oval Office ceiling and flooding the West Wing. “For 10 full weeks, during which the White House could have been using the vast resources at its disposal to prepare for the final battle between good and evil, officials instead chose to downplay the coming apocalypse, minimizing omens such as the sudden rupture of the moon, which unleashed the black, inky trail of crows that continues to circle the Washington Monument. How many countless souls could have been saved from the dark ravages of hell simply by alerting the public that a beast with seven heads and 10 horns had emerged from the sea?” Asked about the report, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany replied that the ominous sound of seven trumpets was being heard all the time, and no one could have known these were the seven trumpets that would herald the 1,000-year reign of Satan on earth. The Wild Hunt HORSEMAN HOAX!!!! At this point I can't tell if The Onion is being sarcastic or truthful.

New White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany takes heat for past comments on Obama, coronavirusKayleigh McEnany posted several tweets in 2012 about the theories spread by 'birthers,' or those who questioned Obama's birthplace.

Democrats urge White House to step up as minority communities hit hard by coronavirusCongressional Democrats, led by senior black leaders, are seeking more help for minority communities from the Trump administration amid mounting evidence that the coronavirus is disproportionately sickening black and Latino populations Racist, anti-Americans like JacksonLeeTX18. Let potus lead. I gotta say, I doubt it's specifically the virus that's killing them, but rather limited access to healthcare over their lifetimes and if they catch the virus, leading to a greater likelihood of underlying conditions causing complications.
