The disconnect between the Trump administration’s posture and the reality on the ground — and the advice of health experts and scientists — has reached a disturbing degree.

American Oversight obtained March emails between a White House official and the Illinois governor's office that show the mounting anger over the lack of a federal leadership.

Documents received in response to American Oversight’s FOIA request to the Chicago mayor’s office for communications with the Trump Organization or the Executive Office of the President. The production contains White House updates and an exchange between Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s chief of staff and White House official Douglas Hoelscher about President Trump’s March 2020 travel ban for much of Europe.
