Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) says he tested negative for COVID-19, about two weeks after testing positive for the new disease, and credits hydroxychloroquine for helping him recover.

Gohmert, 66, tested positive for COVID-19 on July 29. He was tested as part of precautionary measures implemented for anyone scheduled to come into contact with President Donald Trump.
