.@kaitlancollins to Trump: "You said when someone is President of the United States, their authority is total. That is not true. Who told you that?"
Trump responded: "Okay, you know what we're going to do? We're going to write up papers on this. It's not gonna be necessary. Because the governors need us one way or the other." Then told Kaitlan "enough."

Scoop: A sailor assigned to the USS Nimitz tested positive for Covid-19 last week after experiencing symptoms while on board, making the Nimitz the 4th carrier to report a positive case. The positive case comes as the ship is getting ready to deploy. politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
The Nimitz has been conducting an onboard quarantine of sorts since April 1, with all crew being ordered onto the ship "to minimize potential COVID exposure" and "maximize warfighting readiness and ensure the health of the force," per a spokesman. Screenings underway, but...
some are concerned about a potential repeat of disaster on the Roosevelt, which now has more than 150 positive Covid-19 cases and is working to evacuate thousands of sailors and quarantine them in hotels in Guam.

Breaking: The administration has placed a moratorium on USAID’s overseas shipments of personal protective gear. Move comes after US asked Thailand for help last week only to be told that a US shipment of the same supplies was already on its way to Bangkok. politico.com/news/2020/03/3…
The government has yet to curtail exports by US companies, however—roughly 280 million masks in US warehouses were purchased by foreign buyers on Monday alone, per Forbes. FEMA told us it “has not actively encouraged or discouraged U.S. companies from exporting overseas.”

The disruption of normal government operations as agencies implement “social distancing” policies could leave federal contractors and their employees without a paycheck, potentially jeopardizing their ability to hold or maintain a security clearance if they start to incur debt.
Senior national security officials are now reassuring lawmakers and the workforce that clearance-holders won’t be penalized for any financial difficulties stemming from coronavirus closures. politico.com/news/2020/03/2…
