Drug maker says White House doctor described President Trump's treatment inaccurately.
Trump's physician walks back earlier statements, tries to clear up diagnosis timeline Dr. Sean Conley, President Donald Trump's physician, clarified comments from earlier Saturday when doctors stated that the president was"72 hours" into his diagnosis and had begun treatment"48 hours ago.
" "This morning while summarizing the President’s health, I incorrectly use the term 'seventy two hours' instead of 'day three' and 'forty eight hours' instead of 'day two' with regards to his diagnosis and the administration of the polyclonal antibody therapy," Conley wrote in a statement. While Conley did say during the press conference that Trump was "72 hours" into his diagnosis, he did not make the comment about starting treatment "48 hours ago." Dr. Brian Garibaldi, another physician at the news conference, made those remarks. "The President was first diagnosed with COVID-19 on the evening of Thursday, October 1st and had received Regeron’s antibody cocktail on Friday, October 2nd," Conley added., raising questions as to whether the president had withheld his diagnosis from the public for more than 24 hours and whether he had continued to hold campaign events knowing he was ill.Trump calls for another stimulus package as he's being treated for Covid-19 President Donald Trump called for a coronavirus relief package Saturday as he was being treated for Covid-19 himself.Congressional negotiators have been deadlocked with the Trump administration for months over another relief package or stimulus. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin recently restarted their talks this week, but they are still hashing out their differences.A source familiar with President Donald Trump's health contradicted the optimistic outlook that the president's physicians offered Saturday morning. "The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery," the source said in a statement provided to the White House press pool. The pool is a small group of reporters who travel with the president on behalf of all the news outlets who cover the White House. The source's comments were not provided to NBC News directly.Schumer: Senate GOP decision to move forward with Barrett's confirmation is 'dangerous' Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., criticized Senate Republicans on Saturday for moving forward with the confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Schumer's statement came after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced that the Senate would recess until Oct. 19 but still move forward with Barrett's confirmation hearings. "The decision to recess the Senate for two weeks after at least three Republican Senators have tested positive for COVID-19 makes clear that the Senate cannot proceed with business as usual as the virus continues to run rampant," Schumer said. "If It’s too dangerous to have the Senate in session it is also too dangerous for committee hearings to continue," he said."Leader McConnell and Chairman Graham’s monomaniacal drive to confirm Judge Barrett at all costs needlessly threatens the health and safety of Senators, staff, and all those who work in the Capitol complex."Doctors, Nurses and ALL at the GREAT Walter Reed Medical Center, and others from likewise incredible institutions who have joined them, are AMAZING!!!Tremendous progress has been made over the last 6 months in fighting this PLAGUE. With their help, I am feeling well!
