If you are wondering whether Senator Richard Burr is also on the task force, the answer is yes.
There are some 65 U.S. senators on this task force, per a new White House announcement.
The U.S. Senators on the task force by the numbers:

Only 12 of the task force members are Democrats.
One is an independent (Angus King)
The other 52 are GOP.
Trump's task force adopted a similar approach to bipartisanship in the House of Representatives:

* 32 members
* 10 Democrats
* 22 GOP

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's on this task force. Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't.

Their statement.
HHS spokeswoman Caitlin Oakley claimed last night that it was Dr. Bright who requested an emergency use authorization from the FDA for donations of chloroquine that Bayer and Sandoz recently made to the Strategic National Stockpile for use on COVID-19 patients.

Her statement:
The latest statement on behalf of Dr. Bright says the administration is making "demonstrably false" claims about him.

Asked about Dr. Rick Bright's allegations that he was pushed out of BARDA for questioning chloroquines, Trump claims he never heard of him.

Dr. Bright led the agency in charge of the production and purchase of vaccines during this pandemic.
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is the subsection of HHS responsible for protecting the United States from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and pandemics.
One good follow up question for that answer is:

If in fact you do not know Dr. Bright, do you think that you should know someone with such a crucial position in your administration's pandemic response?
