NEW: Two Senate Democrats are probing 'Project Airbridge,' the Trump administration program aimed at getting medical supplies to hospitals amid the pandemic, warning the effort is too opaque.
Under the terms of the partnership, the White House has picked up the tab for overseas flights, an average of $750,000 to $800,000, to bring the companies’ cargo to the United States faster than by cargo ship, according to FEMA.
Warren and Blumenthal have asked the companies for details about their agreements with FEMA, how they are asked distribute their supplies in FEMA-designated “hot spots,” along with their plans and pricing for goods that enter their supply chain from Project Airbridge flights, among other information, by May 8.
Charles Mills, CEO of Medline, speaks as President Donald Trump listens during a news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, March 29, 2020. But Democrats, in both the House and Senate, have argued that the entire supply chain needs more oversight and reform, given the accounts of PPE and equipment shortages that have emerged throughout the country since the first coronavirus outbreak in Washington.
