> After Ziemer’s departure, the global health team was reorganized as part of an effort by then-National Security Adviser John Bolton

> Morrison objected to claims that the office was “dissolved,” writing in the Post on March 16 that the administration “create[d] the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense. It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented.”

Why on earth would anyone believe a Trump Appointee on what happened. The administration has proven themselves time and time again to lie through their teeth. And it sure seems to me that Arms Control, Weapons of Mass Destruction don't have that much in common with Global Health. And if it did, where is that agency right now during this crisis?
