Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused President Donald Trump of betraying the American people, saying he knowingly lied about the danger of the Coronavirus. According to an interview for a book by journalist Bob Woodward, Trump said he played down the virus because he did not want to create a panic. “He knew, and purposefully played it down. Worse, he lied to the American people,” Biden said. “And while this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to do his job – on purpose. It was a life-and-death betrayal of the American people. It’s a dereliction of duty, a disgrace.”
