Trump to phase out coronavirus task force

The White House coronavirus task force may soon be disbanded, according to President Trump. The remarks, which he made while touring a mask production facility in Arizona, seemingly caught Dr. Anthony Fauci by surprise. The move comes as projections for the pandemic predict deaths will increase as the country begins to reopen. Paula Reid reports on the rift between Trump and his medical experts, and the recent whistleblower complaint from a government doctor who said Mr. Trump tried to pressure him into promoting unsubstantiated treatments.

Dr. Fauci blocked from testifying before House

Members of the White House's coronavirus task force will not be allowed to testify on Capitol Hill this month unless they are given permission by Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. President Trump defended the decision Tuesday saying, "The House is a bunch of Trump-haters." CBS News congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes and congressional reporter for The Washington Post Mike DeBonis join CBSN's Elaine Quijano with the latest on Capitol Hill.
