And Nobel Prize Winning author of sweat lana and lex if accuses the balloonist government of using terror against its own people shes one of the roosters last leading opposition leaders will still free. Im told me all a lot of boy its good to have you with us u. S. President donald trump is under fire again for his handling of the corona Virus Outbreak following an explosive new book in it veteran Journalist Bob Woodward says trump deliberately downplayed the danger posed by the virus in the 1st weeks of the pandemic at a News Conference the president defended his handling of the crisis trump said he was not lying to. The public but that he did not want to cause panic more than 189000 americans have died from the virus so far. He w. Washington correspondent that assen joins us from d. C. We hear trump on tape. Saying he understands how dangerous the corona virus is why was he saying the complete opposite to the American People at the time while as we heard he says he did not want to cause panic and in that tape though from mid march we hear him say quote i wanted to always play it down i still like playing it down because i dont want to create panic but the criticism here is that acting to prevent the spread is not the same as causing panic and he minimized the virus for weeks comparing it to the seasonal flu insisting it would disappear by summer and promising that the u. S. Had it under control and the woodward book reveals that these comments that trump was making publicly did not match what he privately understood to be true but he did recognize the deadly nature of the disease early on and now as you said more than 189000 americans have died due to covert 19 there are nearly 6 and a half 1000000 cases across the nation and the question remains could more lives have been saved if the president had warned americans sooner would those who trust him have acted differently had he said what he knew instead of downplaying it like he did again as this news emerges how is it being received in america and we do have some reaction from democratic president ial candidate joe biden he says what trump has done is disgusting he feels the president has lied to americans instead of protecting them he referred to it as a dereliction of duty and its a quote a life and death be trail of the American People these are certainly harsh words but democrats certainly feel the sentiments are warranted given what we now know. What impact might these new revelations have at the ballot box if at all well nationally the mole backlash for his alleged comments insulting Fallen Soldiers and wounded veterans and among military voters 5 leads there too in this instance by 4 Percentage Points and again we have to remember these polls were conducted before these stories came to light so how much will this actually move the needle what kind of impact will this have and as we all know there have been other ok jps where it seems certain that it was all over for trump but he has kept his neck above water all along and so there will surely be polls in the coming weeks trying to pinpoint if he has lost any kind of support given these reports but we may not truly know until november ok you could get a son in washington d. C. Thank you for that update. Lets take a look now at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic.
