White House tensions with CDC spill into public view as top Trump adviser criticizes agency's response to coronavirus
In addition to the issue of testing, White House officials say they are also frustrated by what they consider the agency’s balky flow of data and information and the leak of an early version of its reopening recommendations, according to three administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal disagreements.
While they were at odds over the CDC, Navarro and Azar were in agreement Sunday as they defended the Trump administration’s push for states to reopen their economies. Azar also said he was not overly concerned by images of people congregating at bars and other places without staying six feet apart or wearing masks.
