Despite my being kept out of the press by the Whit House COMMS people, the
media blitz about me continues strong, as well as the gimmick stuff like underwear
(bikini) with either my name on the front or Govs. Cuomo or Newsom (D-CA).

I decided to take the bull by the horns and address this muzzling of me and importantly,
the fact that the requests that we are sending down for clearance are just being ignored.
Instead of going to Mark Meadows and jumping over the head of Kayleigh McEnany, I
decided to go straight to Kayleigh. It worked out beautifully. I described it in an e-m,ail
that I sent to Courtney and Patty tonight after the call with Kayleigh and Alyssa Farah:

Courtney/Patty:
  Important breakthrough! Spoke tonight with Kayleigh McEnany and had good
conversation. Although she is copied on all the e-mails, she rarely reads them. I

explained the problem of lack of any response to our inquiries. I believe it is now
fixed. First, she said that all our correspondences to them should include copies
to Lyndee Rose at Lyndee.D.Rose@who.eop.gov . The she connected me with Alissa
Farah and with that everything got settled and fixed. I had a long conversation with
Alyssa. Her cell phone # is (202) 809-6071. I explained that my two contacts are
Courtney and Patty. She admitted that they were holding me back , but she feels that this
has gotten out of hand. She was terrific on the phone. We made a deal. New
Rules: For all print press like the 3 requests from NY Times, WSJ and STAT regarding
the Moderna data, we DO NOT NEED clearance. We can respond on the record and we
merely need to let her know what we are doing and keep her in the loop. For podcasts
and talks to organizations, i.e. Council on Foreign Relations, we DO NOT NEED
clearance. We merely need to inform them as an FYI. For major TV hits, we need
clearance, but send directly to Alyssa and Lyndee. She said she will start clearing our
TV requests tomorrow depending on what the topic is. She admitted, they definitely
should have cleared the requests regarding Moderna. She says that she trusts that I know
what I am doing and can handle anything, and will start clearing my TV requests, but
said that with certain really sensitive subjects like the bleach issue, they would rather not
have me out there. It was a great conversation and I believe that we have now fixed the
problem. We can discuss more tomorrow.
Thanks,
Tony
