Trump lets his new coronavirus vaccine team go MASKLESS despite WH outbreak – but Dr Birx and Dr Fauci cover-up
DONALD Trump has said his new coronavirus vaccine team can go maskless despite the White House outbreak – but Dr Birx and Dr Fauci decided to cover-up.
The president made the allowance during a briefing in the Rose Garden on Friday.
After being asked by journalists why only some members of his team were wearing face masks, the president said: "We’ve all been tested, I've been tested.
"We’re quite a distance away and we’re outdoors.
"I told them, i gave them the option they can wear it or not.
"You can blame it on me, I gave them the option."
Trump did not wear a mask during the briefing.
The president also signalled CNN's Kaitlan Collins to remove her mask when she asked him a question.
"You're going to have to remove it I can't hear you," Trump said.
On Friday, Trump's daughter Ivanka was seen wearing a coronavirus face mask during a public appearance on Friday.
The president's senior adviser toured Coastal Sunbelt Produce's Distribution Center in Laurel, Maryland.
She visited while workers were assembling boxes of food as part of the Farmers to Families Food Box Program.
The food will be delivered to food banks, community and faith-based organizations and other non-profits serving Americans in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ivanka was pictured wearing a black face mask with an American flag pinned on the left hand side.
During an interview with USA Today on Thursday, Ivanka explained why her father doesn't wear a mask: "There are different procedures as it relates to interacting with the president.
"I always wear a mask when I am with the president, and everyone is instructed to do so as well."
