MSNBC s Joe Scarborough on Thursday laced into Jared Kushner for boasting about how President Donald Trump seized control of the governments response to the coronavirus pandemic from doctors and scientists.

It was the Perry Mason moment, the co-host of Morning Joe said of the admission of the presidents son-in-law and adviser.

Kushner hailed Trumps anti-science approach to the COVID-19 crisis in an April interview with journalist Bob Woodward for his book, Rage, as daily infection rates soared nationwide.

Woodward released audio of the exchange on Wednesday.

We actually have the person on the witness stand who is actually testifying against interests for himself and for Donald Trump, Scarborough said as he railed at Kushners comments.

They deliberately, deliberately freed America from the doctors and the scientists, he continued. So, by the end of this, 400,000 people will be dead almost as many Americans who died in World War II.
