Democratic lawmakers expressed frustration Friday with the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus, saying they left a closed-door briefing by top health officials with many unanswered questions.
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) said lawmakers are “frustrated†and “everybody wants more information.â€
“We want the truth and we want all of the facts and there's some skepticism whether we're actually getting [it],†she added.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), speaking inside the briefing, criticized the administration's response, saying she had "grave concerns" about a lack of transparency.
Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) later criticized her statements, saying "it was really political and I thought it was the wrong place to be political."
