The rise and fall of Michael Caputo

The Health Department's top spokesman, Michael Caputo, says he's taking a leave of absence for health reasons. The move comes just days after he accused government scientists of “sedition” — and less than a week after POLITICO first reported that Caputo was interfering with CDC reports on coronavirus. POLITICO's Dan Diamond breaks down the latest turbulence at HHS. Plus, Fed Chair Jerome Powell says Congress probably needs to do more to save the economy. And two Iranian nationals have been indicted for hacking U.S. networks.
