A rush transcript of the Governor's remarks is available below:
Governor Whitmer and I today called on Congress to immediately conduct an oversight investigation into the Trump administration's response on this pandemic. How can you not tell the American people what you knew and when you knew it? Just ask Peter Navarro. You had a memo that said millions of Americans would be infected. Did you tell anyone? Who did you send it to? Did anyone send you back the memo with a question mark? You met with the President 180 times since that memo - did you ever mention to the President, "By the way, I had a concern here that millions of Americans might be infected." It just doesn't pass the smell test. It can't be true.
