President Trump said this week and next will be very painful weeks, even if one person dies. “And I will protect you if your governor fails.” The vice president suggested there are signs some of the COVID-19 hotspots may be cooling off slightly.
CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin joins Major to talk about the military's role in the federal response to the outbreak and to explain what happened aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
The president said he had no role in the resignation of acting Navy secretary Thomas Modly, who just days ago relieved the ship's captain of his command after the captain had written a letter about deteriorating conditions on board. “He didn’t have to be Ernest Hemingway," Mr. Trump said.
Modly called Captain Brett Crozier either "naive or stupid" for writing the letter and sending it over unclassified channels.
