By late summer last year, Operation Warp Speed accounts were running dry, so the Trump administration appears to have used a financial maneuver allowing Department of Health and Human Services officials to divert $10 billion from a fund meant to help hospitals and health care providers affected by the coronavirus pandemic, Stat News reports. Congress granted the HHS permission to move pandemic-related money between accounts, though the agreement stipulated the agency had to give lawmakers a heads up. In this case, it appears the HHS siphoned the funds quietly, albeit with permission from its top lawyer. Other attorneys told Stat that the agency likely did have the wiggle room to carry out the action. Former Office of Management and Director Russ Vought defended the decision and said "we would do it again," telling Stat that not only did the administration have the authority, it was also "the right thing to do in order to move as quickly as possible because lives were on the line." Other Trump officials seemed to agree, per Stat, arguing that successful vaccines would reduce hospitalizations, making Warp Speed the more consequential outlet. It's still unclear whether the decision has resulted in less money for health care providers, as the Biden administration remains mum on the subject, Stat reports. Read more at Stat News.

DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS / Getty ImagesPrince Harry and Meghan Markle are being urged by some commentators in the U.K. to ask CBS to postpone the airing of its Oprah Winfrey interview, in which they are expected to mount a stinging attack on the royal family, as concern mounts over Prince Philipâs prospects of beating an infection.Prince Harry Tells Oprah He Left the Royals Because He Feared Meghan Markle Would Suffer Like Princess Diana Philip, 99, was moved to a specialist heart hospital on Monday and royal sources have been quoted by British newspapers saying the family is âpretty appalledâ at the idea of the interview, which Oprah has said sees Meghan saying âpretty shocking thingsâ being broadcast while Philip is so unwell.Penny Junor, author of Prince Harry, Brother, Soldier, Son, told The Daily Beast that airing the interview while Prince Philip was undergoing very public health travails risked making the interview look inappropriate, saying, âAnything could hijack this interview. Philip is ill. He is 99 and could die at any time. They were not to know he would get ill, but it could be seen to be the wrong time. But I doubt it is in their gift to postpone the interview. The control is in the hands of CBS and Oprah.âRobert Lacey, historical consultant for The Crown and author of the definitive royal biography Majesty, told The Daily Beast, âI think it would be a marvelous turnaround for Harryâs image if he took the brave step of canceling the whole thing this weekendâor, if thatâs not practical, postponing it at least.âRoyal commentator and former editor of Whoâs Who Richard Fitzwilliams said it would âsurely be appropriateâ to postpone the interview.He told MailOnline, âOprah is their friend and neighbor and would undoubtedly comply if asked and the gesture would I am sure be appreciated by the royal family. If an interview has been extended, as this recently has, it can also be postponed, as this undoubtedly should be.â Royal biographer Robert Jobson told the Mail, âWith the Duke of Edinburgh clearly very unwell, the fact that the couple plan to go ahead with airing their self-indulgent, no-holds-barred interview with chat show queen Oprah Winfrey makes them appear heartless, thoughtless, and supremely selfish.âFor U.S. broadcast network CBS, this interview is a coup, all about securing big viewing figures and big advert sales around the airing of their exclusive interview. So even if they wanted to, Harry and Meghan probably couldnât dictate terms to Oprah Winfrey and the network now. Too much has been invested.âA TV industry insider told the Mirror, âCBS has sold millions of dollars worth of advertising around the interview, but bosses are aware of the delicacy of the Dukeâs health. They have no loyalty to the royal family, although some feel as though they do to Harry and Meghan. For it to run if Philipâs condition worsened would be like setting off a diplomatic bomb. It would be grossly insensitive and hugely disrespectful.âRead more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

Comedy CentralâWe have to talk about the political scandal that is rocking the country,â Trevor Noah said during Monday nightâs Daily Show. For the first time in a long time, he wasnât talking about Donald Trump.After an extended breakdown of the multiple sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, including his defense that he was just trying to be âplayfulâ with his female employees, the host said, âGuys, of course he was being playful! I mean, imagine your much older, politically powerful boss turns to you and says, âWhen was the last time you were really hugged?â Thatâs super playful! Canât you feel your skin crawling with delight?âTurning more serious, Noah told viewers, âHereâs the thing: Even if Cuomo did think he was just âbeing playful,â itâs still not OK, all right?â He added, âThis is what bosses never seem to understand. If youâre a boss, you should never be flirtatious with your employees.ââSo right now, things are looking pretty bad for Governor Cuomo,â he said. âHeâs facing investigations and even calls to resign.
