Although the president’s latest test results are now public knowledge, the Trump administration has still refused to say when the president’s last negative test was prior to his first debate with Joe Biden. 

The president and First Lady Melania Trump announced their positive results in an early morning tweet on October 2, following the positive diagnosis of Hope Hicks, one of Trump’s closest aides. Several allies, aides, and members of the Trump administration have tested positive since.
