Senate Democrats demand information on White House ‘super-spreader’ event

Published



Senate Democrats wrote to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows Tuesday, accusing the Trump administration of “secretive” behavior following a Rose Garden ceremony that appears to have infected several people and President Trump with the coronavirus.

“As this outbreak continues to grow, it is critical that the public and those who may have been exposed have access to accurate and transparent information. Secret Service officials, active-duty military personnel, White House and congressional staff, journalists, and others who visit or work in the White House complex — including those potentially exposed at the reception for Judge Barrett or in any other setting — need the facts about this outbreak to keep themselves and their families safe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Patty Murray wrote to Meadows.
