A Navy captain is out of a job after being accused of leaking to the media.
Brett Cozier was the commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
He's accused of leaking a letter he wrote, in which he asks the Navy for help after more than 100 sailors onboard tested positive for COVID-19.
"That demonstrated extremely poor judgment in the middle of a crisis."
On the homefront, FEMA announced it has distributed tens of millions of respirators, masks, and gloves, and 8,100 ventilators from the strategic national stockpile.
The admiral in charge of the equipment says they're working to acquire 100 thousand ventilators by the end of June.
"All of those vendors will need, potentially will need help in their supply chains, with their suppliers."
The president used the Defense Production Act to mandate HHS get five companies, including General Electric, the supplies they need to build ventilators.
He also ordered the homeland security secretary to acquire more N-95 respirator masks from 3M.
The Department of Justice also used the DPA to take urgently needed personal protective equipment from a hoarder during an enforcement operation.
The hundreds of thousands of gloves, masks, and surgical gowns have been distributed to New York and New Jersey.
"We are going to chase down the people who are hoarding it and stock piling it, keeping it out of the supply chain for the purpose of taking advantage of the severe need for it right now."
