plus i have student housing i have student housing here. many of these complexes are saying they are left out because with the loans and stuff they have, they are not allowed to seek other resources in order to provide management of their because it's a type of loan they sign up for. so that becomes a problem because you got a lot of complexes here. and the students are not in this complex, so they are suffering and paying their mortgage. anything in that regard? anyone can comment on it. >> go ahead. >> i would just note that the emergency programs and other are only abouted supporting the individual households. so i'd don't think -- i could be wrong, but i don't think the underlying financial for the set up would make any other people or hassled ineligible for funding -- households ineligible for funding. >> the gentleman from florida's time has now expired. we recognize the gentleman from michigan. you have five minutes. >> thank, chairman. thank you for this incredibly important issue. someone who represents a very frontline community d

the white house said we were wrong. and we said we had one source saying it was some time in this presidential daily brief, which the compendium of written intelligence that is prepared for the president to read every day. so what we have today now or tonight is confirmation from two sources that it was in the written briefing to president trump in late february. one says late february. the other source says february 27th specifically. and secondarily that it was disseminated more broadly within the intelligence community in a publication called the wire that the cia puts out for people with security clearances to read about the areas in their specialty on may 4. and, so, this is significant because it undercuts the white house's narrative the last sort of 36 hours that the president not only was president trump never briefed but this information was, you know, that he dismissed the information as contested and unverified and not serious and credible enough to bring to his attention. those things which are put in the pr
