    Here's a direct link to the PDF of the draft press release which I'm 99% sure won't be paywalled: https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/49432998-a2af-4264-8096-5745764ad1d9/note/eb20dda6-c289-4eb3-a6a7-de9c5c2455da.#page=1

    And here's a CNBC article which I'm also pretty sure is not paywalled, summarizing the Post reporting: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/17/white-house-abandoned-plan-to-deliver-650-million-face-masks-across-us-report-says.html
