Trump news: President rips off his mask as soon as he arrives back at White House after walking out of hospital

President tweets all-caps rants from hospital about abortion, space and tax

Speaking of Trump’s chief of staff, he was apparently in the room with the president at Walter Reed when his latest “back to work” press shots were taken, meaning his own health could well be comprised (as could that of the photographer) because the commander-in-chief was again not wearing a mask.

Secret Service agents who drove Trump volunteered, Corey Lewandowski says

Speaking to Savannah Guthrie on NBC this morning, the president’s ex-campaign manager said he spoke to Trump for 15 minutes on Saturday night and found him “upbeat” and keen to get back on re-election trail.

Lewandoski also defended last night’s motorcade stunt, commenting:"The detail leader of the Secret Service and the driver both volunteered for that assignment.

“They have very difficult jobs but they were not required to do that, they both volunteered.”

He continued: "There was a piece of plexiglass, I believe, between the president and the two secret service agents in the vehicle.

“This trip was made with consultation of his physicians. They told him this would jeopardize him or anyone in the vehicle.”

The agents though have a rather different perspective on the matter, as James Crump reports.
