Trump’s COVID-19 Adviser Resigns

Scott Atlas, a highly controversial member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, has resigned from his post in the Trump administration.

CNN reports that Atlas turned in his resignation letter to President Donald Trump on Monday.

As a special government employee, Atlas had a 130-day window in which he could serve and that window was technically coming to a close this week.

Atlas, who tweeted out a photo of his resignation letter on Monday, said his “advice was always focused on minimizing all the harms from both the pandemic and the structural policies themselves, especially to the working class and the poor.”

“I sincerely wish the new team all the best as they guide the nation through these trying, polarized times,” he wrote, apparently referring to President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming coronavirus team.
