NEW from me & @KFILE:

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro publicly said Americans had "nothing to worry about" as he privately warned the White House about a "full-blown" pandemic in two memos. Navarro publicly said Americans had 'nothing to worry about' while privately warning coronavirus could cost lives and dollars - CNNPolitics …

@emsteck

On Jan 29 on CNBC, Navarro was asked about the potential impact of the coronavirus. He said "this is not my lane per se" and deferred to the newly created coronavirus task force members.

His first memo warning of a "full-blown" pandemic was dated Jan 29.

11:07 - 10 Apr 2020

@emsteck
Navarro wrote a second private memo dated Feb 23 urging immediate funding to “minimize economic and social disruption.”

The next day he spoke at a press gaggle and said the Coronavirus was “nothing to worry about for the American people” under President Trump’s leadership.

@emsteck
In a statement to CNN, Navarro said, "'Nothing to worry about' indicates the American people should be confident in the strong leadership of President Trump handling the crisis, NOT the seriousness of the crisis itself. To suggest otherwise is simply mischief and fake news."

Schiff officially introduces bill to establish 9/11-type commission to probe US response; Harris and Feinstein will offer companion in Senate. Bill needs bipartisan support to pass, but GOP not on board yet and Trump has called such probes a “witchhunt.” https://schiff.house.gov/imo/media/doc/CommissionontheCOVID19PandemicintheUnitedStates.pdf …

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams says black, Latino & other people of color should "avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs." "We need you to step up," he says.


Some will find this language offensive after Adams stressed that behavior was not the issue for why more black ppl are dying.

Among our pieces of reporting: The president was told at the time of the existence of the Navarro memo. Pottinger, Robert O'Brien, Joe Grogan and Navarro sounded alarms in January. O'Brien and Mnuchin had a tense discussion about the European travel ban https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-response.html …

Watching @FoxNews on weekend afternoons is a total waste of time. We now have some great alternatives, like @OANN.

The Trump admin's supply-chain unit, heavily influenced by Jared Kushner, has favored some of the nation’s largest corporations and ignored smaller producers of goods and services, officials at multiple federal agencies and people familiar told NBC News. Behind closed doors, Trump’s coronavirus task force boosts industry and sows confusion …
