Several prominent Hollywood and pop-culture figures slammed the Trump administration for who it has reportedly placed on a task force for reopening the economy following the coronavirus outbreak.
Sources told Fox News Monday that members of the task force would include chief of staff Mark Meadows, senior White House advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Director of the National Economic Council Larry Kudlow, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
Critics pointed to a lack of medical experts.
