If Trump knew about this from January (probably sooner) can we say the same for JT? Either answer raises many questions.

The whole world knew about this bug in January (Wuhan was shut down back on Jan 23rd) - if one paid attention to the news. The theories around how the US shared intelligence about it with Israel in November sounds far-fetched and hasn't been collaborated.

Kushner calls US coronavirus response a 'success story' as cases hit 1 million
Wed April 29, 2020
Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, praised the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic as a "great success story" on Wednesday -- less than a day after the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States topped 1 million.
Kushner painted a rosy picture for "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning, saying that "the federal government rose to the challenge and this is a great success story and I think that that's really what needs to be told."
When he was pressed on coronavirus testing levels in the US, Kushner said the question shouldn't be why did it take so long, but, "How did we do this so quickly?"

Trump and Kushner want to reopen the country. But they aren't on the frontlines
Updated 8:05 AM ET, Thu April 30, 2020
It's fine for Jared Kushner to mock the "eternal lockdown crowd" worried about state reopenings -- he doesn't have to clock in at a meat factory, drive a bus or work in an emergency room.
The President's son-in-law and senior adviser, complaining behind-the-scenes that he's not getting credit for the "great success story" of the Covid-19 battle, predicts the economy will be "rocking" by June.
For that to be the case, a vast army of workers will have to put aside their fears of a pandemic that has infected more than a million Americans and killed at least 60,000 and restart the country's economic engine.
They will have to do so without the safety net of a broad testing program -- that President Donald Trump says is not necessary -- to allow authorities to trace and isolate Covid-19 outbreaks that the White House has failed to build.
Kushner's comments reflect Trump's fervent desire to restore the economy that was shut down to halt the march of a pandemic he said would not be a problem in the US.

Fact check: New White House press secretary makes false claims in first briefing
Updated 8:36 PM ET, Fri May 1, 2020
Washington (CNN) At the first official briefing by a White House press secretary in 417 days, Kayleigh McEnany promised journalists, "I will never lie to you."
McEnany proceeded to say a bunch of things that weren't true.
Whether they were deliberate lies or inadvertent false claims, we can't be certain; since it was her first time at the podium after being hired in April, we'll be generous in our choice of words. Regardless of her intentions, though, her comments were laden with inaccuracies.
McEnany misquoted an FBI agent's written comment about former national security adviser Michael Flynn. She mischaracterized a Friday tweet by President Donald Trump about protesters in Michigan. She gave an inflated figure for the cost of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. And she said Mueller offered a "complete and total exoneration" of the President, something Mueller explicitly said he was not doing.
McEnany also added confusion to an already-confusing situation surrounding the President's statements about whether the coronavirus originated in a Chinese laboratory.
