Let's shut this misinformation down, shall we?

Trump didn't shut down the White House office on pandemics.

The attack is based on a 2018 decision by then-national security adviser John Bolton to reorganize the White House’s National Security Council—but the top National Security Council official at the time of the change stressed that no office was closed.

“We consolidated three directorates into one,” Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the NSC, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview.

“This eliminated layers in the reporting chain and in the accountability chain.”
