On Thursday, Trump told Sean Hannity he was awaiting his coronavirus test results. The Wall Street Journal reports he had already tested positive by then.
President Donald Trump had already been notified he had tested positive for the coronavirus by the time he appeared on Fox News for an interview Thursday night, but he didn’t disclose it, according to The Wall Street Journal.
But according to the Journal, Trump had already received a positive coronavirus test by the time he appeared on Hannity’s show, and the test he announced early Friday was the second he’d taken. In the days since, his doctors and administration have tried to patch together a timeline of his illness that masks the likelihood that Trump wantonly spread the disease at events he attended maskless throughout the week, including the presidential debate. But instead of spinning the story to Trump’s favor, the clumsy, contradictory statements added to concerns about the president’s health and judgment.
