so... meddling by one trumpette, being covered up by another? or redfield just pissed off with the meddling and telling people to 'just ignore' it rather than 'delete it'? either way, if he ordered it 'deleted' there's a problem, just as much as the problem with trump-overreach.Rep. Jim Clyburn, who chairs the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, on Thursday raised concern the episode may be among "deliberate efforts by the Trump Administration to conceal and destroy evidence" of political meddling in the pandemic response. In a letter to Redfield and HHS Secretary Alex Azar, he said that instructing staff to delete documents is unethical and possibly a violation of federal record-keeping requirements, according to a copy shared with POLITICO.
