Trump To Announce COVID “Breakthrough” Tonight

The New York Post reports:



The White House is touting a “breakthrough” on a coronavirus therapeutic that President Trump will announce in a news conference Sunday evening. Trump will make the announcement alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and the director of the Food and Drug Administration Stephen Hahn.

Earlier Saturday, Trump accused the FDA of delaying possible treatments to disrupt his re-election campaign. In another Tweet on Saturday, Trump said “many doctors and studies disagree” with the FDA “revoking emergency use authorization” of hydroxychloroquine, an unproven anti-malarial drug the president has pitched.
