Fourth, infighting, turf wars and abrupt leadership changes "hobbled the work of the coronavirus task force. "

The report noted that Trump spent many weeks "shuffling responsibilities for leading his administration's response to the crisis" and eventually turned to people with "no credentials, experience or discernible insight in navigating a pandemic."

"Foremost among them was his adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner," the report wrote.

Kushner launched several ineffectual initiatives that not only failed to deliver on the promises but also "interrupted the work of those under immense pressure to manage the US response."

To conclude the investigation, The Washington Post said: "beyond the suffering in store for thousands of victims and their families, the outcome has altered the international standing of the United States, damaging and diminishing its reputation as a global leader in times of extraordinary adversity."
