WASHINGTON, D.C. — During a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) sounded the alarm on this public relations operation that is designed to coincide with the president’s re-election campaign and took away from funds that could be used to combat the coronavirus.

Shaheen led a letter with Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Angus King (I-Maine), requesting that the U.S. Government Accountability Office conduct a review of requests for proposals, contract bids and other materials relating to the public relations campaign contract solicited by the Department of Health and Human Services to “defeat despair and inspire hope” about the coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic.
