Trump said "I didn't know about" cutting pandemic response team. Here's a 2018 video of him talking about why he cut the team
Quotes from Trump about disbanding the US pandemic response team in 2018:
2018: ...some of the people weve cut they havent been used for many, many years and if we ever need them we can get them very quickly and rather then spending the money. Im a business person, I dont like having thousands of people around when you dont need them, he added.
2020: Well, I just think its a nasty question ...You say we did that, I dont know anything about it.
WATCH: @Yamiche asked the president about a reorganization of the National Security Council that dismantled a key pandemics team in 2018.
