"At least 173 covid-related doc requests sent to Trump admin since early March. Almost all ignored."

David Fahrenthold Retweeted

Updated figures: at least 173 covid-related doc requests sent to Trump admin since early March. Almost all ignored or not responded to - it’s like Russia/Ukraine probes, deja vu all over again, as Yogi would say.

Where are the major media outlets on this? Not enough time in the news cycle or column inches in the online publications to delve into another White House stonewalling of congressional oversight? Oh, I know: It's boring! Much more fun to show Trump nattering on about taking hydroxychloroquine, creating an artificial shortage so that the people who actually need to take it can't get it.
