President Trump has yet to announce the full list of people who will sit on his coronavirus economic task force, but Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump will not be part of the crew.
During a press conference on Monday, Trump was asked whether his daughter and son-in-law, who are both White House advisers, would be part of the White House task force on reopening the economy. Both had been reported to be on the team, but the president denied the rumors, saying, “No, they’re not.”
While the White House will not reveal the lineup until Tuesday, Trump did note that there will be advisory committees to give the task force advice on specific areas of the coronavirus response.
“We have a number of committees. We’ll have a transportation committee. We’re going to have a manufacturing committee. You’ll see it tomorrow. We are also having a religious leaders committee. We have a great group of religious leaders. We’re having committees with religious leaders. You’ve been seeing what’s going on at the churches and all of that. We are going to have a faith leaders committee,” he said.
He continued, “We are going to have a few committees. I’ll call them committees. Ultimately, we’re going to make decisions. We are going to make decisions fairly quickly and I think they’re going to be the correct decision, I hope so.”
