Things are really heating up.
Someone leaked to media that Deb and I advised against
the Tulsa Campaign rally. We never really discussed it at the TF meeting. I got textpinged by several reporters (Jon Karl, Norah O'Donnell, Jim Sciutto, Jim LaCosta about
this. I honestly said that I could not conbfirm this since we never discussed thr Tulsa
rally specifically. Nonetheless, today papers are saying that this is the case. Clearly
someone is leaking things without knowing the facts. Karl told me that the word was out
even before the TF meeting ended. And so, someone is leaking even before we finish.
Tam getting progressively disillusioned with Deb Birx. She is happy talking the
increased cases and the VP who is desparately looking for good news listenes to her and
actually thinks that thngs are going well when, in fact. 13 states are clearly having surges
of cases.
She makes the case that 37 cases are stable or decreasing and underplays the13
that are "on fire". In fact after the TF meeting on Friday (yesterday, the VP wants us to

interviewed me during the earlier years of HIV/AIDS
Trump-Fauci tension building up by the press. White House remains friendly, but press
reports stressing the difference between the POTUS and me. I am now being ttacked
more by the far right. Higly tense political situations. I quite frankly do not really care.
I will keep doing what
Iam doing. Am being constantly pinged (texted) by the press
asking my opinion of various statements that are coming out.
Kayleigh McEnany essentially saying that I will not be out in the press. Alyssa Farah is
the one hope in Comms since she clearly wants me out their. Kayleigh constantly lying
to and insulting the press. They are all on to her.
POTUS makes silly statement at the rally in Tulsa that the more you test, the more cases
there will be (implying that testing causes cases) and then said that he told his people to
