US Senators criticized the HHS for holding closed door briefings on the spread of coronavirus in the US

Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire said that she was in this morning's private briefing and her constituents were 'concerned' about hidden information

HHS Secretary Alex Azar claimed that all the information shared in those meetings had been made public afterwards

He said the top secrecy was simply a precautionary measure

Senators also criticized the White House's request for $2.5 billion for being thin in detail and information and expressed doubt it was enough to fight a pandemic
