Launches first 'Infrastructure Week,' which is immediately derailed by Comey testimony

The White House launched its first thematic 'Infrastructure Week' to highlight a plan to privatize air traffic control and streamline permitting. However, the policy push was almost immediately overshadowed by the upcoming testimony of fired FBI Director James Comey. 'Infrastructure Week' became a recurring punchline in Washington throughout the Trump presidency, symbolizing the administration's inability to stay focused on policy goals amid constant scandal and distraction. Despite repeated promises of a major infrastructure bill coming in 'two weeks' or 'very soon,' no comprehensive legislation was ever passed.
