US President Donald Trump launched an astonishing attack on a journalist for criticising his coronavirus policy in what has been dubbed the “biggest meltdown of any US leader in history”.
During the daily briefing, Trump played what seemed to be a campaign video showing state governors praising him for his handling of the crisis.
But CBS reporter Paula Reid questioned what action the president took in February before the worst of coronavirus hit, saying the video shown by the president “has a gap for the entire month”. “What did your administration do in February with the time that your travel ban bought you?” she asked.
