Yahoo obtains some COVIS information Biden says the White House won't provide

Thu, 2020-11-19 13:22 — mike kraft

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden blasted the Trump administration Wednesday for refusing to share information needed to help his incoming team battle the coronavirus pandemic, including data on supplies in the national stockpile.
