Amazon in a letter told House lawmakers it'd make the 'appropriate' executive available to testify before Congress on whether Amazon lied about its treatment of 3rd-party sellers, but stopped short of explicitly offering the testimony of CEO Jeff Bezos
, two of Trump’s most vocal defenders, didn’t even cover it. The White House barely sent out anyone to run opposition, with trade adviser Peter Navarro making one appearance on Fox News to call Bright a “deserter in the war on the China virus,” and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany saying Bright probably hadn’t been “paying attention” to anything the White House was doing to fight the coronavirus.
While Trump and his team often launch scorched-earth offensives against the president’s critics — former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, White House staffer-turned impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, former FBI Director James Comey, to name a few — they occasionally deploy another tactic: ignore. It’s a media strategy designed to downplay his accusations as not even meriting a response, and a sign to Trump supporters that they should not pay attention, either.
Bright’s initial claims, made as the coronavirus death toll was rapidly escalating across the country in April, were striking. He argued he was abruptly removed as head of a department that invests in coronavirus vaccine development after he resisted political pressure to focus on hydroxychloroquine. Trump and his supporters had been promoting the antimalarial drug as a promising treatment for Covid-19, despite no scientific proof of its effectiveness.
