"And NPR’s point is...?"

That it's all just partisan politics. That is the narrative they are laying down with their bland presentation of the facts. If this were a Republican information, they'd be burrowing into the story with the old "What did the president know and when did he know it?" narrative. We would see timelines and diagrams emphasizing all the contradictory claims of the administration, and we would be hearing words like "impeachable."

“Republican information” s/b “Republican administration.”
