Michael Caputo called an emergency staff meeting on Tuesday to apologize for drawing negative attention to the Trump administration's health care strategy and signaled that he might be soon departing his role.

Caputo told staffers that his series of false accusations on Facebook Live this weekend — which included unfounded allegations that the Centers for Disease Control was harboring a “resistance unit” — reflected poorly on HHS’ communications office.
He blamed his recent behavior on a combination of physical health issues and the toll of fielding death threats against his family.
Caputo also acknowledged that he had never read one of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports.

Who knew the US military relies on Russians?

Olivia Troye, who was a homeland security adviser to Pence and his lead staffer on the White House's Coronavirus Task Force until July, charged in a two-minute video that Trump failed to protect the American public because he only cared about himself and getting reelected.
Troye's criticism is particularly striking because of her role working on the coronavirus task force, which Pence leads.

President Donald Trump has long resisted releasing his tax returns in a break with historic precedent, but even one of his closest allies in the Senate thinks he should.

Asked if Trump should release his tax returns, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN on Thursday, "Yeah, I think everybody should. I've said that for a long time."

Graham blocked himself in a corner when he sought to make financial disclosure an issue in his reelection by releasing 11 years of state and federal tax returns for press review and demanding that his Democratic opponent, Jaime Harrison, do the same.
"What is he hiding?" Graham tweeted last Saturday.
