Bolton: Trump turned "blind eye" to coronavirus

Former White House national security adviser told CNN that he does not have confidence in President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. His former boss was "turning a blind eye" at the onset of the outbreak because he did not want to hear "bad news" about his "friend," Chinese President Xi Jinping, Report says.

"I am afraid that the policies' erratic nature as they've evolved since January when the experts began to sense that this problem might be out there has characterized our response throughout. And I'm worried that it continues to be the pattern that the President follows. It's not part of a comprehensive strategy. I think in a country the size of the United States, state and local authorities should have a big role, but at the federal level, the response has not been consistent," he said.
