.MaddowBlog: Reported White House involvement takes NOAA scandal to new level.
With a deadly hurricane approaching his own country, Donald Trump was fixated on a bogus warning he issued to Alabama, inviting escalating mockery as he took “Sharpie-gate” to new levels of absurdity.
But there was something about the details that seemed odd: late last week, Wilbur Ross wasn’t even in the United States. He was in Greece for meetings and it seems implausible that he’d, out of the blue, interrupt his trip to lobby the NOAA leadership.
The Washington Post had a related report today, explaining that Trump personally told his staff that the NOAA needed to correct National Weather Service tweet that didn’t need correcting. It was this presidential instruction, the article added, that “led chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to call Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to tell him to fix the issue.”
