The Top 10 Lies About President Trump’s Response to the Coronavirus
8.  Trump ‘dissolved’ the WH pandemic response office

Two days after Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency, the Washington Post ran an opinion piece by Elizabeth Cameron, who ran the White House pandemic office under Obama, alleging that Trump had dissolved the office in 2018. She claimed because of this, “the federal government’s slow response to the coronavirus isn’t a surprise.”

This claim spread like wildfire, even though it was completely false. Days after WaPo ran the piece, they published another article by Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the National Security Council, who debunked the allegation made by Cameron and other former Obama administration officials.

Direct, factual refutation of claim that the President disbanded his pandemic response team by the NSC official who led the biodefense mission.

The falsehood was widely reported and even stated as a fact by an NBC reporter in a question to the President. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/16/no-white-house-didnt-dissolve-its-pandemic-response-office/ …

Opinion | No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

The middle of a global health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations.

What good is there in spreading false information, as Elizabeth Cameron did? 
“This is Washington. It’s an election year,” Morrison laments. 
“Officials out of power want back into power after November. But the middle of a worldwide health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations.”
