White House Pushes Back on Reports of National Curfew By Mairead McArdle
The White House on Monday pushed back on reports that the administration is considering imposing a national curfew.
“This is not true!” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere wrote in response to a CNN report claiming that the administration was engaged in active discussions about encouraging a curfew across the country, meaning non-essential businesses would have to close by a designated time every evening.
“This is not correct,” Katie Miller, press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence tweeted about the same report.
“That’s not even in the realm of things we’re asking governors for,” Miller said. “There are a lot of rumors. I promise you, I’m sitting in every single meeting … so I can give you guys a yes or no.”
“Rumors of a national lockdown or national quarantine recently shared via text message are FAKE,” read a tweet from the official White House Twitter account.
