Trump is now trying to blame Obama for his coronavirus response

Amid criticism over the government's ability to test for cases of the new coronavirus, President Trump on Wednesday attempted to shift the blame to, who else, his predecessor former President Barack Obama.

Speaking to reporters alongside Vice President Mike Pence, who's in charge of handling the U.S. response to COVID-19, Trump said the Obama administration made a decision that wound up hindering the country's ability to tackle the spreading virus, but said he reversed that situation recently.

People were confused about what exactly the president was referring to, so Pence attempted to clarify, telling reporters the Obama administration had given the Food and Drug Administration jurisdiction over disease testing development. Trump, he said, is now allowing states to conduct their own tests and research, which expands testing capabilities.

A group of Democratic senators consistently grilled Interior Secretary David Bernhardt during a congressional hearing, calling out the Trump administration's roll back of environmental laws and pressing him on a policy that would remove the legal basis for getting oil companies to pay up for the damage they do: “Sometimes you are acting like BP’s lawyer, and that is the problem here."

“At the end of the day we are doing this regulation,” Bernhardt dug in.

The White House is challenging protections for CFPB's independence from presidential firing.

The Supreme Court will decide if this independence is too much power for an agency or if it's protection from political control.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was established to prevent the abuses that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Now the Trump administration is questioning its independent structure.
