TRUMP SAYS HE NEVER SAW INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTS ON INITIAL CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

"I heard he wrote some memos talking about a pandemic," Trump said on Tuesday when asked about his trade advisor's warnings. "I didn't see them, I didn't look for them either."
"It is Bligh's first command and it is soon apparent that he is happy to hand out severe punishments for the most minor infraction. The welfare of his men is also not of primary concern to him. "
