Acting HHS IG Christi Grimm defends the report that Trump attacked her for.

"The report provided quick and reliable data from the ground" citing findings intended to help hospitals across the country manage beds, patient flow and child care for hospital workers.
GRIMM says she's talking with the Homeland Security IG about reviewing how the national stockpile was deployed by HHS and FEMA.
GRIMM downplays Trump's decision to nominate a new HHS IG as a threat to her independence. She noted that her office has been preparing for Trump to nominate a permanent IG since the last one retired in June 2019.

Schiff describes Grenell's decision to declassify the names of those who unmasked intelligence that might have included Flynn's name a "transparent political act."
SIGNIFICANT: Grenell says he's in the process of declassifying Flynn-Kislyak transcripts.

He acknowledges they're not a DNI product (indications are that they were an FBI product, meaning they weren't part of the unmasking requests to the IC):
