Two House committees have called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to turn over documents related to reports that the agency is seizing orders of coronavirus medical supplies from states, as well as the involvement of President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in overseeing those efforts.
The chairs of the House Homeland Security and Oversight committees called on FEMA to turn over documents responding to a "troubling report" from the Health and Human Services Department's inspector general detailing "severe shortages" of emergency equipment reported by hospitals around the country.
"The report confirms that in the richest nation in the world hospitals are lacking masks, gowns and other basic materials," Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said in a letter to FEMA Administrator Peter Gaynor.
The committees also requested a response to media reports that that agency was "redirecting" medical supplies ordered by states and hospitals. Officials in at least a half-dozen states have reported that FEMA hijacked supplies sent to states without informing them.

(22,993 posts)drumpf is not about to start letting these documents out, they will prove his and Jared's profiteering and killing of Americans. Drumpf knows if this gets out both he and Jared are out on the street just before having a new home in jail - with all their assets seized. SCOTUS backs him up every time being complicit in th deal to destroy our constitution and implement a (they want) permanent right wing fascist state.
