"In April, Congress appropriated $25 billion through the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act specifically to expand testing capacity and conduct surveillance and contact tracing to ensure we were prepared for another spike in cases. Yet based on the latest information from the Department of Health and Human Services, three months later less than half of the money provided has been obligated by the federal government and gaps in testing capacity and contact tracing are pervasive," said the Democrats' letter, signed by Murray along with Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Jon Tester of Montana.
The letter also demanded that the administration explain why billions in funding to build up the Strategic National Stockpile hadn't been used as reports show that states are once again struggling to find adequate personal protective equipment to weather the pandemic.
I guess Trump is trying to figure out how to pocket it.
