The investigation will focus on the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports and comes after celebrated journalist Bob Woodward released recordings of interviews with the president in which the president admitted he sought to downplay the severity of the pandemic.
Representative Jim Clyburn, chair of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, and his fellow lawmakers wrote a letter addressed to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and CDC Director Robert Redfield requesting “transcribed interviews and documents regarding efforts by political appointees at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to block the publication of accurate scientific reports by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the coronavirus crisis.”
