John,

According to an interview with Bob Woodward, Donald Trump knew about the deadly threat of COVID-19 in early February. He knew it was much deadlier than the flu, and that it was airborne. And on March 19th, Trump said:

"I wanted to always play it down...I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."

But as of today, the coronavirus has claimed the lives of nearly 200,000 of our friends, neighbors, and family members. It's a tragedy on a scale that our nation has not experienced in the 21st century — and it's largely due to the Trump administration's gross mismanagement.

Trump's reckless decisions to put his own political interests above our safety every time has cost numerous lives. That's why we're officially calling for a House Oversight Committee investigation into what Trump knew, when he knew, and what he did with that info. Sign your name to join our call:

We deserve to know why Trump lied to the American people about the upcoming threat of COVID-19 as it spread throughout the country, John.

Trump even put his own supporters in grave danger. He's hosted five in-person rallies before being forced to halt the practice as governors across the country took matters into their own hands.

Trump doesn't care about us; he only cares about winning re-election, even if it means he will sacrifice our lives to that end, and playing down the pandemic. And if that is something he'll admit in front of a reporter, we can't imagine what else his administration is hiding about their COVID-19 response.

The House Oversight Committee has the power to investigate exactly what Trump knew and how it influenced his policy-making decisions. Sign your name to help us demand the truth about Trump's dereliction of duty.

Together, we can hold Trump and his political allies accountable for their prioritization of political gain over American lives.

In solidarity,

Team Bowman
