WASHINGTON (Reuters) – White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said on Friday that President Donald Trump’s condition was “much worse” than officials had declared, saying doctors had a fever and recommended that he go to hospital after seeing his blood oxygen level drop. Quickly.
Meadows made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Saturday night, which ended a two-day conflicting and opaque assessment of the 74-year-old president’s health.
Meadows told Fox host Jeanne Piro, “I can tell you that the biggest thing we’re seeing is that there’s no fever anymore, and it’s working really well with its oxygen saturation levels.” “Yesterday morning we were really worried by him. He had a fever, and his oxygen levels dropped rapidly. Yet, in typical style, these were the president and the bha and were moving. “
White House officials, including Meadows, said Friday that Trump was experiencing “mild symptoms” and was continuing to work. However, he told Fox News that doctors at Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins recommended Trump go to the hospital.
“He’s made incredible improvements since yesterday morning when I know the doctor and I were very worried,” Meadows said.
