White House press secretary doesn't know 'exact rationale' behind Trump's use of hydroxychloroquine, Birx appears to ignore question
President Donald Trump is facing continued questions Tuesday after he said he's taking hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug he's touted as a possible"game changer" treatment for COVID-19, for about a week and a half, though he said he has"zero symptoms" and despite safety concerns.
President Trump is expected to travel to Capitol Hill to meet with Republicans senators at their weekly policy lunch, as the Trump administration and Congress weigh another round of economic relief. "I don't have any information about the exact rationale," she told Fox News when asked for details."That was a personal deliberation with Dr. Conley and the president."
"The purpose of this letter was to show that Dr. Conley agreed with the analysis that the benefits outweighed the risk," she said."The president should be taken at his word, and the purpose of this letter was to show just that, as it did, the rationale behind it." The four were scheduled to meet before Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell testified before the Senate Banking Committee.
