NPR DECIDES IT MUST FACT CHECK TRUMP ON WHO
Fact-checking And Assessing Trump's Letter Of Rebuke To WHO
As the world seeks to join together to bring the novel coronavirus under control, President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the World Health Organization threatening that the U.S. will halt all funding and consider leaving the agency, pending an assessment of its response to COVID-19.
The timing of the letter added to its shock value: Trump sent out a Tweet at 10:55 p.m. Monday, in the midst of WHO's annual assembly, announcing that he'd sent the letter. The Tweet included the letter's full text and stated that his allegations of incompetence on the part of WHO were "self-explanatory."
WHO responded cautiously: "We have of course received the letter, and we are looking into it," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO, said at at a press conference May 20. Pressed by NPR on what exactly the Trump administration is asking for in terms of changes at the WHO to keep the US from leaving the organization, Michael Ryan, director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program, said, "I think you might want to point that question to them."

Ambassador Richard Grenell
Acting Director
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Dear Ambassador Grenell:
On May 13, 2020, you provided us with declassified information related to the
“unmasking” of Lt. General Michael Flynn, and we very much appreciate your continued
commitment to transparency.1
We write now both to reiterate our request for the declassification
of additional information related to the unmasking of Americans around the time of the 2016
election, but also to expand the scope of our request to include information as early as January
-
Based on our investigation and recent press reports, we are increasingly concerned that
the surveillance of U.S. persons affiliated with the Trump campaign began earlier than the
opening of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation in late July 2016.2
As we explained in our May 12, 2020, letter to you, one of the most significant
unanswered questions about what occurred during the 2016 election is how many Americans
were “unmasked,” at whose request, and for what purpose.3
It has become evident that the FBI,
and possibly members of the U.S. Intelligence Community, were focused on U.S. persons
affiliated with the Trump campaign in early 2016, if not even earlier.4
One example is that, in
April 2016, FBI headquarters directed its New York Field Office to open a counterintelligence
investigation of Carter Page, which on August 10, 2016, became part of the Crossfire Hurricane
investigation.5
