White House doctor says Trump has tested negative for coronavirus
President Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said on Monday evening that Trump has tested negative for COVID-19 "on consecutive days," but did not give specific dates.
He shared the news in a memo to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Conley wrote that Trump was tested "using the Abbott BinaxNOW antigen card," and it is "important to note that this test was not used in isolation for the determination of the president's current negative status."
