What did Trump know and when did he know it? The White House timeline and explanation of events surrounding Trump Covid-19 infection are very suspect.[paywall] Did Trump's crew attempt to hide Hicks' positive diagnosis? Despite knowing Hicks was infected and that she had been in close proximity to Trump for days did fly off to a hands on, masks off fundraiser? We know that Team Trump is incompetent, but we also know they are liars.
A critical part of this equation is that the White House didn’t come forward with any of this. Jennifer Jacobs of Bloomberg News learned that Hicks had tested positive and reported that last night. That immediately focused attention on the President’s exposure and forced the overnight disclosure of his illness. Were they planning on disclosing that Hicks had tested positive? That is at best unclear. They hadn’t disclosed that Ronna McDaniel, the head of the RNC who met with Trump last week, tested positive. We just found that out this morning. And what about Trump himself? Trump had repeatedly traveled with Hicks. Her diagnosis Thursday morning should have led to President Trump’s being immediately tested and possibly diagnosed yesterday morning or at the latest in the afternoon.
