Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is denying that his boss contracted COVID-19 prior to the first presidential debate with then-candidate Joe Biden.
In his new book, Meadows writes that former President Donald Trump received a positive coronavirus test before the debate with Biden. However, he added that Trump took another test which came back negative, and they believed the first result was a false positive.
Trump called the report that he had the virus during the debate “fake news.”
During an appearance on Newsmax on Wednesday night, Meadows was asked about Trump’s denial that he had the coronavirus.
“Well, the president’s right. It’s fake news,” Meadows began. “If you actually read the book, the context of it, that story outlined a false positive.”
He continued, “Literally, he had a test, had two other tests after that, showed that he didn’t have Covid during the debate. And yet, you know the way that the media wants to spin it is certainly to be as negative about Donald Trump as they possibly can while giving Joe Biden a pass.”
