McConnell and Pelosi ‘respectfully decline’ HHS offer to supply Congress with rapid coronavirus tests

CNN  

CNN — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “respectfully” declined an offer from the Trump administration to deploy rapid coronavirus testing capabilities to Capitol Hill ahead of senators’ anticipated return to Washington in the coming week. Instead, the two congressional leaders said they want “to keep directing resources to the front-line facilities” battling the Covid-19 outbreak and that lawmakers and congressional staff will use “current testing protocols that the Office of the Attending Physician has put in place until these speedier technologies become more widely available.” “Congress is grateful for the Administration’s generous offer to deploy rapid COVID-19 testing capabilities to Capitol Hill, but we respectfully decline the offer at this time,” Pelosi and McConnell said in a joint statement issued Saturday. Maybe you need a new Doctor over there,” he added, before singling out Pelosi and saying she will “use it as an excuse not to show up to work!” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded to the joint statement Saturday, saying, “That’s their decision to make.” INTERACTIVE: Tracking Covid-19 cases in the US “The moment we heard about even an inquiry for having tests for Congress we acted and ensured that we would provide those tests if needed and wanted and it’s the decision of Leader McConnell and Speaker Pelosi to decline that offer,” McEnany continued. On Twitter earlier Saturday, Trump assured that there is “tremendous CoronaVirus testing capacity in Washington” for senators returning Monday.
