Read our privacy policy Vice President Mike Pence told reporters on Tuesday that the Trump administration is considering winding down the White House coronavirus task force. He also said that he is in talks with the Federal Emergency Management Agency about formulating a “transition plan.” “We’re having conversations about that and about what the proper time is for the task force to complete its work and for the ongoing efforts to take place on an agency-by-agency level,” the vice president added. The task force is already meeting less frequently, and President Donald Trump is no longer linking his press briefings with the activities of the group. A separate group focussed on coronavirus led by Jared Kushner, Trump’s advisor and son-in-law, will likely continue working and is also said to be focussed on therapeutics.
