One-time Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo has been named to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) top communications position, Caputo told Politico on Wednesday.
I am honored to serve the President to the best of my abilities in this time of crisis and, in so doing, the American people, Caputo, who will join the department as assistant secretary of HHS for public affairs, told the publication.
The hire comes as the White House has grown suspicious of HHS Secretary Alex Azar, believing him to have portrayed himself to the press as attempting in vain in January to sound the alarm within the administration about the coronavirus, according to Politico, citing two officials with knowledge of the situation. He has also feuded with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services head Seema Verma, a closer Trump ally than Azar.
Trump appeared to push back on such reports in a tweet Sunday, responding to a New York Times story alleging the administration had missed key red flags about the virus by calling it a Fake and saying Azar told me nothing until later.

Caputo has already been run through the ringer by the FBI so he's likely bullet proof.

Well, Caviezel's talents (which are badly needed these days) have been widely on display quite a bit in recent weeks (in many places), so I guess you could say this is not entirely unexpected.
