Former Donald Trump Aide Says Mark Meadows Blocked Her From Trying to Stop Ex-President's COVID 'Bleach' Injection Remarks

Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, who spoke to the House January 6 committee, nearly stopped former President Donald Trump from announcing a suggestion to inject bleach into the body to treat COVID-19.

In the newly released transcripts of her April depositions with the January 6 panel, Griffin noted that he tried to stop Trump from receiving a report that led to his famous COVID-19 pandemic press briefing, urging his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body to fight coronavirus.

At that time, Griffin was part of the Trump coronavirus task force, and she admitted to having tried to stop a Department of Homeland Security report from getting to Trump.

That report stating "people should consider exposing the body to light, heat, and disinfectants as a potential treatment" for COVID-19 was initially sent to former Vice President Mike Pence, who thought it was "interesting" and that Trump should be briefed about it.

The Trump aide noted that she knew that Trump would not have been able to "properly digest what the report was indicating."

She said she knew the former president would say something dangerous to the public on national TV because of this, so she tried to stop it outside of the Oval Office.

However, Griffin noted that then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows stopped her. She said that she tried to warn Meadows that this would blow up in their faces, but he did not listen, "and we got the injecting bleach thing."

"Meadows overruled me," the former White House communications director noted.

Former Trump Aide Says Mark Meadows Did Not Fulfill His Duties as Donald Trump's Chief of Staff

The January 6 committee transcripts of Alyssa Farah Griffin's testimony revealed her frustrations with former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

Griffin noted that nobody at the Trump White House acted as a "gatekeeper" to stop misinformation from reaching the president. She said this was supposed to be Meadows' job, but she never saw him do that job "effectively."

According to The Hill, Griffin is now the co-host of "The View," and she tweeted in April that she had tried to stop the "injecting bleach" press briefing in the West Wing of the White House before it happened.

Alyssa Farah Griffin Calls Kayleigh McEnany a 'Liar and Opportunist'

Alyssa Farah Griffin also slammed ex-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. She told the January 6 committee, "I am a Christian woman, so I will say this. Kayleigh is a liar and an opportunist."

The TV host also said that McEnany was "a smart woman" and "not an idiot, and she believed that the former press secretary knew Trump's claims about the 2020 election were false but still peddled them to the public for personal gain.

"She's a Harvard law grad. She knew we lost the election, but she made a calculation that she wanted to have a certain life post-Trump that required staying in his good graces. And that was more important to her than telling the truth to the American public," Griffin told the House panel, as The Huffington Post reported.

"I think she saw that as a moment to kind of, like, if I do this one last public-facing stand for Trump, I'm going to be set... And I mean, it did. She got her Fox News gig. It worked out precisely how she'd always planned it to, but she knew better," she added.

The Guardian reported that McEnany, who now hosts a Fox News show, did not respond to Griffin's remarks.

Since departing the Trump administration, Griffin has been very vocal in criticizing the former president, especially on "The View." She often sides with the show's liberal hosts when it comes to the issue of Donald Trump.
