White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows revealed that President Donald Trump’s condition on Friday was much worse than what officials had made public, and said doctors recommended that the president go to hospital after seeing that he had fever and that his blood oxygen level dropped rapidly.
Meadows made the comments in an interview with Fox News aired Saturday night that culminated two days of opaque and contradictory assessments of the 74-year-old president’s health.
“I can tell you that the most important thing we see is that he is now fever free and doing very well with his oxygen saturation levels,” Meadows told Fox host Jeanine Pirro. “Yesterday morning we were very concerned about that. She had a fever and her oxygen level had dropped rapidly. However, in typical style, this president was up and walking. “
White House officials, including Meadows, said Friday that Trump was experiencing “mild symptoms” and was continuing to work. However, he told Fox News that Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins doctors recommended that Trump go to the hospital.
“He has made incredible improvements since yesterday morning when I know that several of us, the doctor and I, were very concerned,” Meadows said.
