Americans Furious After Trump Has Jared Kushner Attend Presser But Not Dr. Fauci
Donald Trump is holding another press briefing today.
Yesterday’s briefing started off when Trump unveiled counter-narcotics operations that senior officials said would target Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who was recently charged with drug trafficking in the U.S. This caused CNN and MSNBC to cut away from the briefing.
Since yesterday’s briefing, the White House Correspondents Association voted to kick OAN out of the rotation after personalities from the outlet circumvented processes designed to keep the press corps safe during the outbreak. But, apparently OAN is back in the briefing room today as a “guest” of Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham.
The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has now officially topped the 1 million mark, according to Johns Hopkins University.
We also learned that Trump was tested again for COVID-19 and tested negative:

This briefing won’t give up any important information, as Dr. Fauci isn’t there, but Jared Kushner is.
Jared Kushner just walked into the briefing room. Dr. Fauci is not here today.

Trump even announced that Jared would “say a few words.”
WHY IS JARED EVEN THERE?
Trump actually left mid press conference, and said he would return to answer questions.
Maybe he had to go to the bathroom?
Seriously, people are furious Jared is there:
Jared Kushner is at the coronavirus press conference. Dr. Fauci is not. So there’s definitely no reason for anyone to air this garbage. #StopAiringTrump

Jared Kushner will be present and speaking at today's press briefing and Dr. Fauci will not, in case you were wondering how much stock you should be putting in these televised addresses.

Trump says he is leaving the press conference for a bit but will return. "Jared Kushner is going to say a few words," he says. A first for Kushner at the podium.
