White House virologist was reassigned from Covid to election fraud by 2020 obsessed Trump, new email

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A virologist responsible for the White House’s response to the Covid pandemic under former president Donald Trump was reassigned to investigate purported cases of “voter fraud” last winter, emails obtained by the US Congress show.

Pathologist Steven Hatfill, who advised the then-White House trade director Peter Navarro, repeatedly complained that “election stuff” was taking precedence over the plan to contain the coronavirus crisis.

“Now with the elections so close, Covid is taking a back seat, yet the disease is rearing it[s] ugly head again,” Dr Hatfill said in emails in October 2020. These emails were obtained by the House select subcommittee investigating Trump administration’s coronavirus response and were accessed by The Washington Post.

Subsequent emails showed a shift in Dr Hatfill’s own priorities as his focus moved to the former president’s election challenges.

A Trump adviser's emails say 'election stuff' repeatedly took precedence over the president's pandemic response

The Trump administration reportedly prioritized former President Donald Trump's attempts to challenge the election over fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new documents from a House Select Subcommittee investigation.

Emails from Steven Hatfill, a virologist who advised White House trade director Peter Navarro were obtained by the House Select Subcommittee that is now probing the US government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and shared with The Washington Post.

Hatfill's correspondence repeatedly references working on election issues over pandemic response.

For instance, in response to a January 5 email sent by a colleague at the George Washington University asking why he was not "fixing the virus," Hatfill said it was because of the dispute over the election results.

3. Anthrax Scare

He was a "person of interest" in the Anthrax Scare back in 2001. I always wondered if he did it, because he flipped out when the FBI named him as such. Even went so far as to try to run someone down on the streets of DC. I'm not surprised that this slimeball is associated with TFG. He attracts them like slugs to beer.
