1. The eight weeks of published internal White House coronavirus reports from June 23 to Aug. 9, prepared by the coronavirus task force, include data on confirmed cases, testing and resident mobility by state. The data is also broken down by county within states to help with local policy.

4. A White House spokesperson told CNBC that the subcommittee’s analysis of the reports was “partisan” and said President Trump and his administration ask Americans to follow CDC recommendations and best practices to slow the spread of COVID-19.
