our white house correspondent kaitlan, we got this little memo from the white house physician, dr. sean conley. but there really aren't a whole lot of specifics there. and we do know that the president, he's been silent at least so far today. he isn't even tweeting, kaitlan. 16 hours ago was his last tweet when he posted "i tested positive for covid-19. we will begin our quarantine, a recovery process immediately. we will get through this together." since then, more than 16 hours haven't heard from him, haven't seen him. and certainly it's significant that he's not even tweeting. >> reporter: it is very uncharacteristic for the president to not be tweeting or anything. and of course now we're waiting for him to come up to marine one. it's been almost exactly 24 hours since we've seen the president. what we really have got to talk about here is the fact that we have not heard from the president's doctor in a briefing in a session where he can actually take questions from reporters. yet, they are taking the president to the hospital for the next several days without giving the report

white house. going back to my house, where i don't take there is an add bill. clearly it is a lecture he has. so i for sure confident dr conley and his whole medical team are going to be keeping a very close eye on him. we cannot anticipate who is going to have the storm, it is going to have the storm, it is typically day six through ten, so the member... made her of this week, they are going to keep an ion in. if he gets sicker, they're going to slap some auction on him. if he was diagnosed friday morning, and that makes a day for now, you would still want to watch how he does over the next few days? yes. again, 93%, we are sending patients home, if i had a patients home, if i had a patient committed 93%, that is not a strict indication for hospital admission. again, i think they gave it to him to make them feel a bit better, but it sounds like they fully he was the walking well, right? no one wishes him to be critically ill. most patients tend to be in that working well category. if you're feeli

the white house has a surgery, house does.ry, it has a sick pay, it has the facilities to deal with quite serious situations, and that hasn't been deemed good enough for this occasion. so we got donald trump going off to hospital. with boris johnson, there was a longer lead in, but it was all that stuff about precaution, precaution, percussion. then next thing we know, intensive care. that was an absolute shock when you heard that particular news. the white house is doing what is expected, seeking to reassure the american people, and there are trying to do their best but i think still, there is an awful lot we don't know. i know exactly where you're standing. the pract secretary office is ten guards from where you're standing. —— press secretary. is there a sense of... 7 you're standing. —— press secretary. is there a sense of... ? i would give a slightly different answer to it. the white house feel different today than it did yesterday or last week or last month or for the last seven or eight months. we are able to go to the

as he was returning to the white house, this evening, there were other white house officials taking off their masks, who were just in close proximity. anderson, they live inside a different reality over here at the white house. and that is what -- what is just so damn frustrating covering this presidency. because we have seen this from the very beginning of this administration. but it is now so critical because a deadly virus is circulating inside the west wing. i was just in the lower and upper press areas of the west wing, anderson, where the white house press staffers and communication staffers work every day. it is gone. it's empty. they're all gone. and that is because they've essentially had to flee the building because this is something of a hot zone. and so, you know, the president may be interested in going back to the oval office. he may be interested in getting back to business. but there aren't a whole lot of people here to help him get back to business because they have had to evacuate the building because of this deadly virus that's circulating around. it is -- it's just -

we learned white house's press secretary tested positive. campaign manager is positive of coronavirus. chris christie and two members of the house and the residents tested positive and they did not direct contact with the family. the white house will not tell them when the president last tested negative? how do you do contact tracing if you don't know when the person tested negative or positive? how do you tell people? who do you even know who to contact? jim acosta is there for us. the photo-op, i was going to say a surreal scene. it is a scene we have seen in like some of the stand countries when you know dictator wants to put on a big show. something we have seen in a regime and the fact he had to go and restage it is incredible. i am wondering what you are hearing from sources you talk to. >> reporter: yeah, given the fact that the president bringing coronavirus back to the white house. we are reviewing the video of the president's return a short while ago. you can see him entering the white house about 7:00 p.m. eastern time and comes ba

normally we would be getting more information from the white house doctor, the white house press office. i reached out to several white house officials. i reached out to senior republicans. they don't have any information either. i reached out to five different people. they said that they are watching us, that they don't know what is going on with the president's health, that they haven't been briefed. and that's just -- not only isn't it normal procedure -- and we have all learned that the trump white house doesn't conduct itself the way other white houses do -- but it is a particular concern right now because we have a national security issue and the president's health is at stake. >> it certainly is right now. we are waiting for the president to emerge. we will see when that happens and we will have special coverage of all of this. dann dana, i know you are doing some reporting. >> i am reaching out to people who are usually informed about what's going on inside the president's world. and the people i'm talking to, just like jamie, aren't hearing anything. yes, it is true that not so

what do you imagine the white house will do? will the debate happen as planned, the way it was planned? wendy: at this point, kamala harris has not been around donald trump or any white house people and her boss, joe biden, has tested negative. she is planning to be there. vice president mike pence said he will, too. now, if things go badly for the president, they may have to cancel it. at the moment, that debate in salt lake city is going forward. there is a presidential debate on october 15 in miami which is will only be 12 days from now. it's -- i don't think it is likely they will hold that debate. i've heard nothing about it yet but president trump should not be out in public in 12 days. david: the debate commission was saying we would have to change the rules and president trump's team was saying we don't want to change the rules. the vice presidential debate next week, assuming it happens, how will it be different because of what has happened in the last 24 hours? wendy: we haven't heard anything officially yet, but after

don't work at the white house right now. quote, we cannot stress enough the importance of mask wearing, social distancing and common sense at the white house complex. >> brian, i used to cover the white house. one of the things that people are surprised is how close the quarters are. not just for the reporters. we are talking about very small areas that make it very difficult to socially distance and you have to take as many precautions as possible and i talk about the press offices. there are people sitting there chock a block at desks. like a classroom feel. >> definitely. that's why it was a mistake for kayleigh mcenany to hold a press conference yesterday. would we know right now if news did not leak? there's murkiness about that. the fact that there's a white house staffer who sits with the press who's a confirmed positive, this speaks to how many other cases there might be and there's privacy issues here but might be other cases of the white house right now. >> all right. brian stelter, thank you so much for the news j

they are disinfecting the white house. white house press room in a hazmat suit. that's what they do at the president's house. but what about you? is anybody disinfecting your house professionally? because he spews dangerous lies and tells you not to be afraid, but they are disineffecting professionally the white house, but you're not supposed to be afraid. huh. nobody came over to disinfect your house professionally, did they? in a hazmat suit? that shows no fear. and get this -- the vice president now, mike pence, who should be quarantining, by the way, but isn't -- first agreed and then refused to have a plexiglas barrier around him at tomorrow's vice presidential debate. then he agreed again. kamala harris will also be able to use a barrier to protect herself. the irony here, the irony, the wall we need now is not the border wall, stephen miller champions, the one he says we need so much -- it is a plexiglas wall to protect us from this president's negligence. and let's not forget -- there have been nearly 7.5 million americans infected with this virus. they a

the white house marine one leaves the south lawn of the white house having just. left the president back at home after 3 days in hospital. continuing coverage here on al-jazeera of donald trump's departure from walter reed medical hospital his return to the white house and then. correspondent who's been at walter reed all day then what who knows what happens next. well what we know is that the president's going to be closely monitored and you narrated us beautifully through that moment because although i don't have a monitor and can't see the image what i know is that donald trump ascended on those staircases that are on either side of that balcony and into the residence a it's notable that he used that entrance because it's not typically the entrance that presidents use usually that's a ground floor entrance but guess what harder for the cameras to see that so donald trump clearly wanted people to see him as the accident and enter the white house making once again a big show a better spectacle as we often say this is the same balcony i believe that we saw him whe

it is not the white house. why won't the president allow his doctors or anyone at the white house to answer this simplest question. when did the president last test negative? the most obvious reason would be a, he's been positive longer than they claimed or he has not been testing everyday at all like the white house claiming and they have been endangers people for a lot longer period of time. is there some other explanation? >> there really is no other explanation besides the way you preface that question. the president is only allowing his doctors revealing to the public what he wants people to know about. so that means, we can deduce from that, we are not learning things and items that the president does not want out there. and i can tell you from my sources, there is a concern they are not telling the public of what needs to be told. when it comes to the president's health. there were still concerns about the president's health this morning. there were some concerns from the night before from his balcony mo

how hard is that going to be for him at the white house to quarantine? ng to be really ha rd house to quarantine? it's going to be really hard for him, katty! because if he is feeling well, he is going to want to get back and start chatting to people, chatting to his aides and seeing people stop undoubtedly, here's the important thing. i did this myself and the president has to do this himself. you must be isolated, you must remain away from others. the technology in the white house is not the same. he can talk to his aides and do everything he needs to do except that they want to be there in the room with him. that's an important distinction, the president is going to have to power through. and you and i know he would love to be in the oval office, roaming around the west wing of the white house, talking to anybody and everyone, but he must stay quarantine. actually come as he twitted this evening, he would like to be back on the campaign trail. that's what he will he wants to be doing, but we'rejust that's what he will he wants to be doing, but we're ju

and the white house physician, dr. sean conley clarifies this statement about the president being diagnosed with this virus 72 hours ago. >> and again, jeremy, the doctor was given the opportunity because a reporter did ask. you said 72 hours. and he refused to correct himself, if he had misspoken. so again, more questions than answers. thank you so much, jeremy diamond. >>> now this. some breaking news. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is seeking an agreement to push back senate floor activity two weeks until october 19th after multiple republican senators announce that they have tested positive for coronavirus and the confirmation hearings for the president's u.s. supreme court nominee now less than two weeks away. cnn congressional reporter lauren fox is with us now. so what exactly is mitch mcconnell asking for here? >> well, there's a lot of uncertainty on capitol hill right now when it comes to amy coney barrett's nomination and whether or not they'll have the votes they need in the committee to move forwar

our thanks very much alan fischer at the white house it's just timing 2200 g.m.t. all watching al-jazeera live from london and we're looking at a live shot here of the white house after learning that u.s. president donald trump will be moved to a special suite at the walter reed national military medical center that's going to he's going to be there for at least a few days the white house says as a precautionary step as also a suggestion that president trump has a mild fever we know that he was taking a cocktail of experimental drugs as part of his covert $900.00 treatment it is possible that.

the white house did not make this public. it came through the reporting of a journalist but after that, the president traveled to his golf club in bedminster now here is the tick tock. here are the facts as i know them the president flew to bedminster not wearing a mask and went to a fundraiser, did not wear a mask, returned and did not wear a mask all after learning that hope hicks had tested positive for the virus. in addition, the president had been around hope hicks during all of that time the cdc guidelines would say that if you are around someone who has tested positive, that you should -- the guidelines are clear that you should isolate for a period of days before you receive multiple coronavirus tests that are negative. instead, it is our reporting that the president went to bedminster, attended the fundraiser, greeted those who were participating in the fundraiser, and did -- here is some pictures from washington yesterday and was not waearing a mask along the way there is an attempt to get a list of people who were

truth be a white house in washington d.c. and press secretary kaley many is speaking a lot i have a let's listen to the president symptoms exactly had mild symptoms but he is hard at work and we're having to slow him down a little bit he's been on the phone with senator mcconnell senator lindsey graham but on the phone the chief of staff mark meadows talking about emergency declarations for states as well as stimulus so he's hard at work despite the mild symptoms that there. really are 100 or. 400 more to her or her or her why would you go into. it was deemed safe for the president to go on he socially distance it was an outdoor event and it was deemed safe by white house operations for him to do a lot of it was really you know i did not know i when i briefed that whole picture was positive i've seen some inaccurate reporting out of encourage you to ask the question before you report because i had no awareness hope no not you but i'm saying others who reported it falsely i had no knowledge of positive tests for that reason we

marine one is coming into the white house as we speak.e do have another camera with pictured of this marine one is on approach now. that was marine one flying over there. in just a moment the president will go to marine one for that short trip over to walter reed it is an extraordinary turn of events over the past 24 hours, actually less than that. keep in mind it was last night during the 8:00 hour on the east coast when we learned that hope hicks had tested positive for coronavir coronavirus. hope hicks worked for the first lady before she was the first lady in her busy, then worked at the campaign, then at the white house, then went over to news corp to work in public relations and now is back at the white house. she is one of the president's most trusted advisors and they spent a lot of time together we all know the president doesn't wear masks that often. when we heard that hope hicks tested positive for covid-19, there was a bit of concern the president went on hannity on fox news to talk about it. he said, she's young and i'm not t

and the white house sends that message with the behavior inside the white house.was something that jeff mason, a reuters reporter, straight down the middle, has been saying that the white house has been trying to act like this is over. this undercuts really that central message of the campaign. >> i totally agree with that, but also remember that people typically vote on their emotion, they're voting on their feelings, and this feels ominous. this feels like mother nature is sending a message that something is amiss in the society. and this is a very symbolic thing that goes against the president's narrative over the last six months. and it's a terrible thing. listen, i don't wish anybody illness. i don't wish any family members illness. we've had deaths out here on long island and ma hhassett, my mother's best friend died of covid-19. i don't wish it on anybody, but what i do wish for the united states is a responsible leader and someone who's going to tell the truth to the american people about the science of this disease. and i'll tell you what i'm upset about.

white house did not disclose anything related to coronavirus in the white house.erg news broke the news that hope hicks had tested positive for coronavirus. cnn quickly confirmed that. subsequently the president went on the hannity show and said did he not know if he had coronavirus. he was waiting for his test to come back. then after midnight just before 1:00 in the morning he tweeted out that he and the first lady had both tested positive for coronavirus and were beginning the quarantine process and that started the chain of events that we've seen unfold today. that includes vice president pence and karen pence saying they have tested negative. same with treasury secretary mnuchin and same with joe biden the nominee announcing that he had tested negative for coronavirus and now we wait to follow the course of the president's illness and of course we hope he does not get anything worse than the mild symptoms that aides say he's suffering right now. >> that is exactly right. it is really important to see that timeline in full and it will continue to fill out, joh

it seemed like a white house press conference. the sort of political press conference we are accustomed to where there are more questions than answers and lots of no comments. and that is very troubling. the public should see a medical press conference where every detail is shared. at one point, dr. conley was asked, how high was the president's fever when he had a fever. and the answer was, i'd rather not give any specific numbers. it doesn't matter what he'd rather do. the american people need to have those numbers. the american people need to be given all this information as transparently and accurately as possible. so i thought this was a disturbing press conference by the president's medical team that ended up with a lot of questions. and we need to continue to show skepticism. here's the big thing, fred. when trump was on with sean hannity thursday night, he acted like this was no big deal. he downplayed hope hicks' diagnosis. he said he was going to get a test and see what happens. if, in fact, he knew he had been diagnosed

and inside the white house u.s. president donald trump is in quarantine along with the 1st lady melania to both of them tested positive for colored 19 revealed the news just over an hour ago and it's wait. this is the tweet flotus that i tested positive for coven once again we will begin our corn scene and recovery process immediately we will get through this together. it comes off to one of his close advisers was tested positive hope picks traveled with trump to the presidential debate on tuesday and a campaign rally on wednesday.

carol knows this well, the big problem with him going back to the white house, it's not like you or i walking back to our houses and being able to sit in our bedroom or living room with no one around us. this is a building that's constantly occupied, where there's janitors and maintenance workers and security and chefs. he's putting a whole lot of people in a spot where they're going to be in at least somewhat close contact with the president. you heard the doctor say he wouldn't discuss where he would be working from. the west wing of the white house is a very cramped facility. it's not like these are big offices. these are small, cramped offices where you're walking through hallways that are maybe five feet wide. there's a lot of complications that could be in play here and i've heard from sources in the last couple hours that they're planning to convert part of the residence into office space so we'll see how that, window. we a we're going to be in suspended animation until monday when i guess there's going to be an all clear or some sort of signal that he's out of the woods. we're

this is according to the white house. we are looking at live pictures of the white house. we understand the president will be walking out and boarding marine one, the helicopter, and taking that quick trip over to walter reed hospital in bethesda maryland where he will spend the next several days being treated for coronavirus. we understand that his symptoms are mild, he is fatigued but a good spirits. he has a fever but will remain at the hospital under doctors care for several days. but he is well enough to continue on with his presidential duties, and there has been no transfer power over to vice president mike pence. also, the first lady has been diagnosed with coronavirus. i am sure you have heard that by now. her symptoms, according to the physician to the president, she has a mild cough and a headache, but the rest of the first family is well and they have all tested negative for coronavirus. this virus has killed more than 205,000 americans, and has now reached the highest levels of us government. catherine hedin is also with us now with more on the breaking news c

that includes the white house chief of staff mark meadows and larry kudlow, a top white house economic advisor and white house pressyleigh mcena mcenany. mark meadows was standing alongside president trump going into walter reed and had a mask on then. earlier in the day mark meadows was not. it goes to show you this is a white house in the midst of this outbreak and people coming up positive, top officials in the government they are still not following the precautions their own government is telling people to take and that of course, is wearing facial coverings. >> each day at the white house, there comes a period where on the overhead speakers inside the area where the reporters work, there's an announcement, there is a lid on travel for the day just a few minutes ago, there was an announcement of a lid on travel with the president off at the hospital an announcement of sort of a run of the mill event, it seems sort of having the president at the hospital and having that announcement, it's other worldly here in the early going. >> that's right. you can't really over state how remarka

the white house has not updated us on this. and so, when you say the president's in quarantine, i want to make sure our viewers know, we're not really sure what that quarantine is going to look like, yet. because medical experts have said you should quarantine if you just did the bare minimum of what we already know has happened, come into contact with somebody who's tested positive. we've already crossed that bar when it comes to president trump but he is saying they are quarantining until they get a test result back. whether he gets a negative result, if he is going to continue with a roundtable and rally tomorrow, that's still to be determined. >> 31 days when people wake up in the morning, until election day, john. 14 days, he's going to quarantine. and then, he's only going to have 14 more days to campaign? >> well, look. i wouldn't bet on him quarantining, if he gets a negative test result. but i think the bigger question, right now, is why we haven't gotten the test result from the president. it is not plausible, more th

and now your white house, your white house is in free-fall. off that they have been lied to inside the white house. they're angry at mark meadows for acting like a total idiot. they're angry at mark meadows for lying through his teeth at every single day about how bad this is. they're angry at mark meadows, they're angry at donald trump, they're angry at you for continuing to cover up for a man who has continued to lie to the american people. he doesn't trust the american people. you don't trust the american people. so please, don't say you do. just say you screwed up, you had a super spreader event, you acted like you're from medieval times. you acted like the age of enlightenment never happened. the age of reason never happened. the advancement of science never happened. the advancement of medicine never happened. you acted also, mike, like the american people couldn't be trusted with the truth. that's what the cigarette companies thought in the 1950s i'm sure. i'm sure that's what a lot of corporations thought when they were polluting water

i'm going to ask the white house deputy spokesperson. and house speaker nancy pelosi questioning trump's mental state after he pulls the plug on stimulus negotiations. and michelle obama with a striking closing argument for joe biden, as the rules for tomorrow night's crucial, crucial vice presidential debate are announced. we'll tell you what they are. let's go "outfront." >>> good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the breaking news, the white house coronavirus outbreak is growing tonight. we have just learned that top trump adviser steven miller has just tested positive for coronavirus. this is video of him from last wednesday. you see him there along with hope hicks, obviously no one there wearing masks. miller was in that debate prep session with president trump, which now brings the total number of people who tested positive who were in that room with the president to 6 out of 8 people, all of them now with the virus. this comes tonight, steven miller's diagnosis just break thing moment. we are also learning two more pre

this is what it's like to work in the white house. they instill this culture of fear and they purposely go out of their way to manipulate whatever narrative there is. and they expect you to lie. i am not at all surprised the president would ask his assistant to do that. i honestly feel horrible for his aide. i know him. and i just can't imagine what it must be like to go home when you're sick and wrestle with that on a personal level morally and be like okay, i'm loyal to this person, i work for him, i continue to support him, but at what cost? >> so i want to ask you because you've been there and you've seen this and now we see what's happening, which is you have respected medical doctors who they are confident he can get the care in the white house, that's one thing. but they can't physically restrain him from taking off the mask. right? but how is it that he's maskless in a picture at walter reed, that when he got on marine one to go there on the day he was so incredibly sick he's wearing a cloth mask, not even an n95, when others

what you're looking at as a helicopter on the south lawn of the white house, part very close to the whiteit is from there that president trump will be taken from the white house. at the moment, he's isolating in a private residence of the white house. is going to be moved via helicopter to walter reed military hospital just helicopter to walter reed military hospitaljust outside helicopter to walter reed military hospital just outside the helicopter to walter reed military hospitaljust outside the border of washington, dc and maryland, and the white house is saying this is out of abundance of caution. he will be put into a special executive suite and be there for a few days, where they can do testing and keep an eye on him. our north american reporter anthony zurcher is still with us. people are questioning whether they might bea people are questioning whether they might be a discretion between the treatment, as it has been described. we are seeing him being moved and that always weighs is a bit of a red flag, but it's also frankly because this white house does not have the gold standard

has its owi'i centre, and the white house has its own medical centre, the white house has doctorsrking around the clock, they have a very well—equipped surgery here. why is it that they feel they cannot do whatever is necessary here and that he needs to go to walter reed? i think that is one of the questions that people are going to a light on and say maybe there's more to this than meets the eye and maybe there is something else to this. but as you also said, which i think is really important, they are not invoking article 25, section three of the constitution, which hands over power on a of the constitution, which hands over power on a temporary basis to the vice president. donald trump or means in charge, is the message that the white house are very keen to put out this evening —— donald trump are means in charge. jon sopel there at the white house for us. let's go to bethesda, maryland. barbara plett usher is there. that is were the helicopters going to land, barbara. what are you hearing about what conditions he is going to be held in while he's up there, kept in ball he's up

he arrived back at the white house at

remember, this president in the white house has, including traveling with him, the white house physician's office. they are usually active-duty military, and they are physicians, more than one, to service the president, vice president, members of the first family, even senior staff, and especially when the white house is on the road. we are hoping for a fuller statement from the white house medical office on the test results tonight. we have reason to believe the president and first lady were initially tested hours ago now, perhaps in the 9:00 p.m. hour eastern time. we have reason to believe that the first go-round on white house testing is the abbott instant test, which, full disclosure, the president has shilled and promoted on the white house lawn, including having an example of the product itself on a pedestal in ways that would make supermarketer ron poe peel stand back in admiration. maggie haberman from "the new york times" adds this on social media. saying i'm going to quarantine changes the cable news chyrons, the headlines we use at the bottom of the screen. but if he, trump, te

in the white house. i've literally talked to somebody who worked in the white house who says that she was advised that if she really ever needed to, she could havel her baby at the white house, meaning she doesn't have to go home from work. they could take care of it there. i'm assuming a lot of that is hyperbole, but there is an expectation the white house medical unit can do almost anything. that's what makes it feel in part very grave that in this case the white house medical unit decided that the president needed instead to be hospitalized. we'll talk with a former doctor from the white house medical unit who in fact served during the trump administration. stay with us. look limu! someone out there needs help customizing their car insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need. false alarm. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ with priceline, you can get up to 60% off amazing hotels. and when you get a big deal... ...you feel like a big deal. ♪ price

process and the formula for the white house the from white house was never known for really being super transparent when something a little fishy or problematic happened so no we don't know more yet we'll see in the next few hours and of course they. step in the white house has now begun contact tracing within the president's circle we know that we've already seen on the key republicans testing positive how bad is this outbreak now at the top of washington looking. you know it's not to be underestimated this is a massive crisis this is this is significant because it is not just impacting the trump administration not just a core team around the president in his function as the president of the united states it's also impacting a lot of people in his campaign and with this where at the other campaign joe biden last tuesday the biden campaign 20 guests of mr biden 20 guests of mr trump were in a relatively small room and having a let's say animated debate so there is a log off following through and following up going on right now and i would say the white house in a frenzy in terms of this

geoff bennett, jeff mason, two fantastic reporters on that white house beat. thank you both for sharing your reporting tonight. i really appreciate it. >> sure. >> thank you. >> joining me now, congressman hakeem jeffries, chair of the house democratic caucus, which puts him fifth in line in the house democratic leadership. congressman, first, i want to gauge your reaction and the reaction of your colleagues to this news and how it's being processed on capitol hill and among democratic leadership. >> well, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the president, the first lady and in fact every single american who has been infected by the coronavirus and is struggling to battle this deadly disease. it underscores the point that covid-19 can touch anyone, whether you're black or white or latino or asian or native american. it doesn't matter whether you're a democrat or republican. it doesn't matter whether you're an every day american or the president of the united states, it doesn't matter, which is why we need to continue to do everything humanly possible t

position in the white house.aid that he was going to recuperate at home, you know, in the white house residence. that was 18 hours ago, and now he is being rushed to hospital. this is not a good sign for his health. i think this certainly was done may be at nab and —— out of an abundance of caution and also suggest that u nfortu nately and also suggest that unfortunately his condition was starting to deteriorate. it is worth for our view isjust putting the chronology into context, personable president trump said he contracted the virus, the first statement from the doctor said that they were both well at the time, they plan to stay at home at the white house, then there was a second statement talking about the number of cocktail of drugs and now he has at walter reed. what kind of treatment, what kind of access does he have at walter reed, assembly the president can get any expert, any drug, anywhere? certainly thatis any drug, anywhere? certainly that is the case. first of all he would just get the standard trea

especially since the white house physician would not share details about mr. trump's health. >> does he have pneumonia or inflammation in his lungs at all? >> we have done routine standard imaging, i'm just not at liberty to discuss. >> doctor you're on board air force one. >> you're not telling us what the lung scans show, just to be clear. >> there are hipaa rules and regulations that restrict me in sharing certain things for his safety and his own health, and reasons. >> cnn's kaitlan collins has been following this story and has the latest for us. >> yeah, it was less than 72 hours after the president was admitted to walter reed hospital that he returned to the white house when he dramatically climbed the steps of the white house, and facing live television cameras took off his mask, standing there for several moments and coming back out briefly as he could let a camera crew waiting inside the white house shoot his return to post a video on his twitter feed, touting his time in the hospital, and saying it cannot dominate american life. that comes as the pr

you worked in the white house.a short period of time, but what must the morale be like inside the white house now, not knowing if the guy or woman in the office next to mine is positive? >> the morale is at an all-time low, but it's also an all-time low on capitol hill. people do talk to each other and they're like, okay, what do we do now? he's got coronavirus. he totally ignored the rules and the protocol. he forced all of us to ignore the rules and the protocol. it's aides inside the white house, john, but it's also aides up on capitol hill, and it's elected leaders. like, okay, ed rollins called it the party of dumb. so now the gop represents incompetence and malpractice in addition to all of the other insanity that the president has perpetrated on the gop. and so the morale is at an all-time low. the morale in the campaign is at an all-time low. the donors to the republican party, their morale is at an all-time low. but i guess because the president is loaded up with steroids, his morale is at a delusional all

white house correspondent. internal physician and an opinion writer for the "new york the people who work in the white house who are not political. >> i have been talking to people who work in the white house for the last couple days. people are freaking out. therest no way to really talk or exaggerate how scared people are. it's mayhem. people are worried and lining up to get tested. they don't know who could be exposed. there's no telling when the president last tested negative. the white house is refusing to provide information. and a contact tracing the white house is not want the cdc and health officials to really weigh in outside of them. they have this in house epidemiologist contact tracing. chris christy is hospitalized and never heard from the white house about bt coronavirus contact tracing. it's a white house that is has a virus coursing through it. and the president falsely saying it's like the flu. we know it killed five times the amount of people the flu has in the last five years. killed more th

the white house has a full cadre of doctors on standby.'m glad he is doing better there is also long-term effects, such as brain fatigue, or brain fog, and other chronic conditions that come from this, so we will have to see. i do not think he is entirely out of the woods yet. this is a very unproductive will disease. there's a saying in washington, d.c., if someone is awake, they have bright spirit. if they have -- if they are unconscious, their resting peacefully. there's always going to be spin here and we do not know the details, even the number of oxygen dips he had, it is still very vague how low it went. in terms of the drug he is using, dexamethasone, it is a pretty severe drug, in terms of it is only reserved for severe, critical patients, not for mild. it actually slows down the immune system and increases virus replication. so we have to really see. he is definitely not out of the woods. anything can still happen. >> john jordan is a republican strategist and he joins us now by skype from sonoma, california. thank you for joinin

he took off his mask in order to enter the white house and then was not wearing a mask inside the whitese. just as a reminder, the white house is a workplace for hundreds of americans, and the president has covid, and he's apparently not wearing his mask inside the house, the white house. more to come tonight. stay with us. stay with us we admiringly called her "notorious." for that trailblazing courage, that pioneering work. advancing women and working people. demanding fairness and equality. defending our rights. now that rbg has left us, they call it her "legacy." then, you stop and realize. her most powerful legacy is you. vote. end citizens united is responsible for the content of this ad. e♪ you know limu,g after all these years it's the ones that got away that haunt me the most.

at the white house didn't say mr. president, you're grounded, you're quarantined, you're in close quarters with someone who has symptoms of this and later tested positive, it is shocking. but yes. it is very tight quarters in marine one. >> sanjay, what do they have to do inside marine one now to guarantee that the president is not going to spread this virus to the others who are going to be in there with him? >> you can't guarantee that, wolf. that's the issue. he should be isolated. that's why you get isolated if you have a contagious disease that's diagnosed. he has a symptomatic contagious disease. he should be in isolation. he's gone around on a car ride, on two helicopter rides, apparently he is walking around the hospital, he said, saying hello to soldiers. i don't know were they in personal protective equipment when he was doing so? you can't guarantee safety. i hope what they're doing is at least putting everyone that's going to be on that helicopter in personal protective equipment, so n95 masks, goggles, go

three white house reporters have tested positive. two of them were at that event on saturday for the supreme court nominee where the president was announcing his pick. and earlier today the house speaker nancy pelosi said she got tested out of an abundance of caution after meeting with the treasury secretary earlier this week on stimulus talks and her spokesperson has just tweeted that she did in fact test negative, jake. >> all right, kaitlan collins, thank you so much. here to discuss, cnn's dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, we know most people if they're going to get sick, do so around five to six days following exposure. now that trump has tested positive and is showing some symptoms according to the white house, although we have yet to hear from a doctor from the white house, we should note. that is needed, a real doctor, not an oral surgeon. people want to know what happens next. so what happens to trump now assuming that he was exposed a few days ago? >> yeah. this is really going to have to do with his clinical symptoms. that's going

he leaves to go back to the white house.yeah, he has received really state-of-the-art treatment. this coming at a time when we continue to see those infections rising at the white house. there you can see the motorcade of president trump leaving. he will be back at the white house where he will remain in isolation. for now, let's bring back our guest, bill evans, who is still on the phone with us. we were talking about the australian economy. here in the u.s., we are also struggling with potentially another stimulus package coming but really seeing no progress on that front. how important is it for australia to really go forth with these measures? not only when it comes to the budget package that will be announced, but as you have advocated in your notes, perhaps it entails bringing forward some tax cuts. es, tax cuts have already been legislated, what we call stage two, legislated for july 2022 an. the stage two tax cuts look certain to be going forward. the debate is whether it will be july 2021 or it should be july 2020.

the white house, let me say that again, the white house did not release this information. they did not publicly disclose it. we, media outlets were able to confirm it after the bloomberg report and then the president himself did disclose that he and the first lady had been tested positive in a tweet after 1:00 a.m. we've pressed the white house as to why they did not disclose information and they have not responded to that. previous, they've been cagy, not making announcements saying they want to protect the privacy and health updates with people who work at the white house. but this is an understanding that this is someone there's national security implications for someone so close to the president for so long, particularly in the last few days. and to bob costa's point a moment ago, which is spot on, you know, of course, we all wish that the people involved are healthy and recover, but we need to coolly analyze what happens next. and indeed, the president has spent basically since march trying to make this election about anything other than just a referendum on his handl
