Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's handling of the ongoing COVID pandemic as part of a lengthy statement issued on Tuesday, December 28, as the end of the year approaches.
Trump, who was president when the pandemic began, accused Biden of a "testing failure" that he called a "national scandal."
The former president's statement comes after the Biden administration announced they would purchase 500 million at-home COVID tests and distribute them for free to Americans who want them.
In a statement shared by his spokesperson Liz Harrington, former President Trump's office said "By January 20, 2021 the United States had conducted over 250 million tests."
