Preliminary talks have begun on Capitol Hill about the possibility of creating a panel to scrutinize the Trump admin.'s response to the coronavirus pandemic that would be modeled on the 9/11 Commission, according to 4 people familiar with the discussions.
But the formation of any commission, or possible congressional investigations, wouldn't happen until after the country is through the crisis, the people familiar with the discussions said. Some lawmakers have suggested putting off any investigation until after November's presidential election, they said.
President Donald Trump has defended his administration's handling of the pandemic, and his White House has repeatedly bucked congressional oversight. "I don't know that you would get administration buy-in for something like that," a senior administration official said."Then, if the Democrats do one, it's all one-sided."
And the House Oversight and Reform Committee has already begun asking questions about the lack of access to testing early on in the crisis, even as Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., says the committee will dig deeply into the administration's response after the crisis is over.
