They won’t tell us. They’re hiding something. Was he infected when he debated Biden?
Why won't White House say when Trump last tested negative? https://t.co/W8EPKi2z7Q pic.twitter.com/AIHDLR8szD

Focus understandably is primarily on Trump. But @ClevelandClinic has not publicly explained what Trump was required to certify in terms of when he was last tested before debate. I was told both candidates had to show clean tests w/in 72 hours, but Clinic won't comment or confirm https://t.co/7n54Wlku9F

Because the answer would indicate he exposed Joe Biden to coronavirus at the first presidential debate https://t.co/QFqIc7jupL

“The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that the president did not actually test negative before he got in a room with former Vice President Joe Biden, for last week's debate," @chrislhayes says of WH declining to reveal president's last negative testhttps://t.co/5iXirdwCSv

Let's get real: If Trump already had a new negative COVID test we would have heard about it.

And if the date of his last negative COVID test helped Trump, by making clear he had not endangered people, we would have heard that too.
In case anyone's wondering what the Trump campaign told the Cleveland Clinic about Trump testing before the debate, here's my full exchange with chief campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh. pic.twitter.com/1uBbIfCQ7J

White House Spokesman refuses to say whether Trump adhered to the Debate Commission's requirement that Trump test negatively prior to the debate.

Side note, this guy is a terrible liar, worse spokesman and the only reason to do this interview is a misguided attempt at fame https://t.co/FMGNqADw0U
Updated Trump COVID Testing Timeline:

– White House refuses to confirm that Trump complied with the Cleveland Clinic test guidelines pre-debate
– Report of two additional White House residence staff contracting the virus. https://t.co/h3KNRRFp0Q h/t @HallieJackson @maggieNYT
Did the president test negative for coronavirus within 72 hours of the last debate? https://t.co/vjWQakTz1R

At this point the only question is whether Trump was inexcusably lax in testing before the debate, or whether he outright suspected he had it before the debatehttps://t.co/rWFTKNmiUa

The only logical reason to stonewall this much is because the actual answer is even more damaging. https://t.co/Dg2m0AJz1T

The White House declined to tell reporters when President Trump last tested negative for COVID-19 today, marking at least the eighth time since last week that officials have refused to disclose the information. https://t.co/exBCdwqQo1

When was the last time the president tested negative?
White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah: “I can't reveal that at this time. Doctors would like to keep it private"
…
When was the president's last negative test and why won't you tell us?https://t.co/Ud1BimpI9V

This is pretty simple: The president was supposed to have tested negative AT LEAST ahead of the debate last Tuesday. Was he? https://t.co/YW3piU6KDv

It seems ominous that @ClevelandClinic will not respond to ?s re how it certified Trump/Biden were #coronavirus clear at 1st debate. What did Trump testify to them? When did he say his last test was? Should a 2nd debate proceed w/out more transparency? https://t.co/ZCbNYWwEj1

Awful. White House again refused to say when Trump's last negative test was.

"We're not asking to go back through a bunch of records and look backwards," WH spox says, as if this is an imposition!

No second in-person debate under such conditions: https://t.co/dyUZJFFiL4
The White House is still doing everything they possibly can to conceal when Trump’s last negative test occurred. Why? There’s a reason. pic.twitter.com/6lQwsf1Ppm
