With just one day left for tribes to submit critical information to receive a share of a much-needed $8 billion relief fund, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Tara Sweeney remains startlingly silent on the controversy. During a coronavirus conference call on Wednesday, she refused to take questions from the 1,000-plus who were on the line, according to people who participated.
