Rachel Maddow did a section on this tonight. Feds learned that a warehouse filled with “39 million PPE masks" was a scam. But they found out because they were planning to STEAL the PPE ordered by state governors and hospitals! And they are doing this with EVERY shipment of PPE and ventilators that they can find! So states are paying for these things, and the Trump admin is stealing them! It's so bad, Maddow reported, that governors are ordering police to escort expected shipments to keep the feds from stealing them! This after Trump saying that he/the federal govt are "not a shipping clerk," and governors need to deal with supplies themselves. Welcome to Trump's America!
