The war on public health experts

This week, the Trump administration ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention send all coronavirus-related data straight to the Department of Health and Human Services. This is just the latest step in President Trump's war on public health experts. Plus, a shakeup on Trump's 2020 campaign team. And, a major Twitter hack Wednesday night left some of the most powerful people on the platform vulnerable to a cryptocurrency scam. Guests: Axios' Sam Baker, Mike Allen, and Ina Fried. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Carol Alderman, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Naomi Shavin and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
