The woman who publicly recounted how her father died of COVID-19 because he trusted President Donald Trump doubled down on her criticism Thursday following the revelation that the president told journalist Bob Woodward that he intentionally played down the pandemic even though he knew it was "deadly."

The woman, Kristin Urquiza, who blamed Trump during an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention last month for the death of her father and blasted his overall handling of the pandemic, tore into the president anew Thursday during a phone call with reporters organized by Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

"That betrayal of my father and our country is even more clear now. The president's lies are undeniable and inexcusable," Urquiza said on the call.

"If Donald Trump had told the American people in public what he had told Bob Woodward in private, thousands of lives could have been spared, including my dad," she said. "The sad thing is that it didn't have to be this way. These deaths were needless and preventable."
