EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Deborah Birx says she informed former Vice Pres. Pence, 'I am saying exactly the opposite of what the president is saying' about the pandemic because of the data. 'You need to do what you need to do,' he replied, according to Birx.

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light -- and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said."And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too.

But when Birx said she saw Trump and the government scientist informally continue their conversation before cameras – and the president make the leap to publicly question whether humans could be treated with disinfectant – she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "And by the next morning, the president was saying that was a joke," Birx said."But I think he knew by that evening, clearly, that this was dangerous."

She said the doctors included Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
