BREAKING: The timeline problem the White House is facing is that according to Trump's 9PM FNC interview with Hannity, the White House waited *12 hours* to test him after it knew Hicks had COVID-19. That's unlikely—meaning Trump may have lied on FNC about if he had a deadly virus.
PS/ This is the conversation on cable news right now: did Trump know he had COVID-19 and nevertheless go to a fundraiser in New Jersey and go on national TV and say he didn't know if he was sick? That would suggest that the White House was considering lying to America about this.
PS2/ On Hannity, Trump said he'd just been tested for the first time at 9PM, so either he refused testing for 12 hours and refused to quarantine for 12 hours or else he lied about how many tests he'd been given or else he lied about whether he was sick. It has to be one of those.
