MSNBC Cuts Away from President Trump’s Coronavirus Press Conference

EXCERPT:

MELBER: "We have been listening to the White House task force on Coronavirus give one of the evening briefings that have become a grim and daily reality during this pandemic. This is Ari Melber anchoring MSNBC’s Special Coverage, and let me tell you what we’re going to do here, as we have done in times past. We’ve been listening to a good chunk of the press conference, the President making his remarks, reiterating statements he had made about not wanting the response to this crisis to be greater than the underlying problem. We heard for the first time at one of these press conferences from Attorney General Barr who briefed on efforts the Justice Department is taking to prevent price gouging and other types of activities that may be illegal during a health crisis. And when they go back to questions and answers, which is a time when we've seen other news develop, we will go back into that press conference in a few moments.”
