President Trump out there defending his administration's response to the outbreak as his critics attack A B.

C's Kyra Phillips is at the White House this morning with more care.

A good morning to you Good morning, Dan.

Well, from a diving doubt a protective gear to protecting the message.

As the Corona virus continues to spread, the White House challenged daily to come up with answers.

Overnight.

President Trump counterprogramming the Democratic primary in Charleston, South Carolina, insisting he has everything Corona virus under control.

Pushing back on Democratic criticism, Democrats are politicizing the Corona virus.

You know this coming prior to the emergence of more baffling cases where patients tested positive but had no obvious contact with anyone with the virus.

And the message from the White House in recent days pointing the finger at the media compressed was covering their their hopes of the day because they thought it would bring down the president.

The reason you think so you saying so much attention to it today is that they think this is gonna be what brings down the president on Capitol Hill, Anxiety over the virus is bipartisan Republican Senator Thom Tillis, writing a letter to the defense secretary saying this global outbreak is concerning and presents an enduring an uncertain threat.

The outbreak also rattling markets, with Wall Street having its worst week since the 2008 financial crisis, sparking fear of economic downturn.

The president blaming the recent stock market troubles in part on the Democrats running for president.

I also think the people are not happy when they look at what's running on the other side and Eva, as you know, the administration has been facing a lot of criticism for its messaging.

But the White House is claiming transparency, actually dispatching Dr Anthony Fauci, one of the country's leading experts on the contagious diseases, to brief members of Congress.

And when I spoke to Dr Fauci this week, I asked him about reports that the White House directed him not to say anything further about the virus without clearance, while he told me that that was not true and that those reports have been taken out of context.

Eva.

All right.

Thank you so much for your report.
