Schiff: I Am ‘Diving Deeply’ into What Warnings Trump Ignored on Coronavirus

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff says his committee, along with others, is conducting “real-time oversight” of the White House’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are right now going through our intelligence holdings. What did the intelligence community make us aware of at the end of last year or earlier this year? Other committees are doing like analyses,” Schiff (D-Calif.) told MSNBC’s “AM Joy” on Sunday.

While Schiff pledged that the 9/11-style commission he and his fellow California Democrats — including Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris — called for would be bipartisan, the former impeachment manager zeroed in on the Trump administration’s missed warning signs to address the virus.

“It is very important, I think, in reviewing the intelligence component to this to realize the intelligence piece is just one piece of the warnings coming to the administration. A lot of those warnings were in the public domain. They came from public health organizations, like WHO or CDC or his own National Security Council, and ignored those warnings.”

He continued, “We are diving deeply into what does the intelligence community know, what resources we would bring there, and what do we need to do prospectively to better protect the country in the future. That last piece, how do we protect the country in the future, is really the mission of that independent commission we based on, we used the model the 9/11 commission.” – READ MORE
