Jared Kushner hired his college roommate to create a national coronavirus testing plan
If it's a major issue in the Trump White House, Jared Kushner is probably running point.
When put in charge of devising a national strategy for testing, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser went to his college roommate over credentialed medical experts for an initiative that "just went poof into thin air," according to one of its participants.
A new Vanity Fair report published on Thursday revealed new details about Kushner's role in the nation's bungled coronavirus response, particularly in forming his own handpicked team to create a strategy that never happened.
Efforts to build an advanced testing and tracing operation nationwide were scrapped, according to the report. One explanation that reportedly convinced Kushner to ditch he plan was a sentiment in the White House that the virus would only be contained to "blue states," providing cover for the Trump administration to blame Democratic governors for the pandemic's damage.
