The Trump administration is considering retaliatory measures against China, including new tariffs, over the handling of the COVID-19 outbreak. Officials are discussing the formation of an "Economic Prosperity Network" of trusted partners to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains. This shift indicates that China hawks within the administration are gaining influence over free-trade advocates as the multi-billion dollar trade deal signed in January becomes secondary.

### ATF Whistleblower Retaliation and Congressional Oversight

- **Episode:** [313: Hide Your Forks](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/313-hide-your-forks.md)
- **Published:** 2011-06-16

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/313-hide-your-forks/chapter/atf-whistleblower-retaliation-and-congressional-oversight.md

Testimony from ATF agents suggests a culture of retaliation against employees who blow the whistle on illegal or unethical practices within the agency. During the oversight hearings, Representative Elijah Cummings was criticized for appearing to apologize to Justice Department witnesses rather than aggressively investigating the "Fast and Furious" scandal. This behavior is cited as evidence of the erosion of the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.
