Democrats Question China Trip
In a sharply-worded statement released Monday, The DNC questioned the Trump administration's selection of investigators being sent to assess the coronavirus outbreak in China.
"Why are there no Republicans included in this trip? This appears to be yet another example of rank partisanship from the Executive Branch, especially considering the individuals chosen and their needed involvement in important issues at home."
