President Donald Trump contradicted a statement made earlier on Tuesday by his press secretary Kayleigh McEnany that he tests for coronavirus "multiple times a day."

"I didn't know about more than one," Trump said during his first coronavirus briefing since late April in response to a reporter's question about McEnany's comments. "I do take probably on average a test every two days, three days, and I don't know of any time I've taken two tests in one day, but I could see that happening."
