US Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and other Democratic lawmakers today blasted the Trump administration for demoting Rick Bright, the whistleblower who says his early warnings about the COVID-19 pandemic and supply shortages were ignored.

"Dr. Bright has filed one of the most specific and troubling whistleblower complaints I have ever seen," Eshoo said today. "He was the right person with the right judgment at the right time. He was not only ignored, he was fired for being right. We can't have a system where the government fires those who get it right and reward those who get it completely wrong."
