President Donald Trump questioned the accuracy of China’s official CCP virus case and death toll statistics during a press briefing held by members of the coronavirus task force on April 15.

“Do you really believe those numbers in this vast country called China—and that they have a certain number of cases and a certain number of deaths—does anybody really believe that?” Trump told reporters at the briefing.
