A former administration official once described the experience working at the White House as the president focused on dominance and power over others. This briefing was partly to pick a fight w press - but partly to dominate press. And Fauci. The tweet last night was too.

There is no “reopening” without a plan to get the virus under control and keep it that way.

 

Trump’s false claims of absolute power are alarming, of course. But his failure to scale up testing is unforgiveable and deadly.

 

His power isn’t absolute — but his incompetence is.

Doesn't Potus have all the power in a national emergency?

#COVID2019 Paul Manafort lawyers ask for his immediate transfer to home confinement, citing threat they say COVID-19 poses to his health according to letter first obtained @CBSNews

Michael Avenatti recently granted temporary home confinement due to virus

 

Lawyers for ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort are asking for his immediate transfer to home confinement, in light of the threat they say COVID-19 poses to his health. He has been serving a seven-year sentence at a federal prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania, for bank fraud and tax evasion.

 

His attorneys, Todd Blanche and Kevin Downing, wrote a letter to the director of the Bureau of Prisons and the warden at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Loretto to request his immediate transfer to home confinement "to serve the remainder of his sentence or, alternatively, for the duration of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic," in keeping with Attorney General William Barr's directives in late March and early April. Barr instructed the Bureau of Prisons to increase the use of home confinement among older inmates with underlying conditions as a means to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country's prison system.

 

Manafort's lawyers pointed out that he is 71 years of age and suffers from a number of maladies, including "high blood pressure, liver disease, and respiratory ailments," Blanche and Downing said in their letter, which was first obtained by CBS News. They noted that he was hospitalized for several days in December for a heart condition, and in February, he became ill with influenza and bronchitis.
