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.
