President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that U.S. intelligence officials didn’t bring up the issue of the CCP virus until late January and didn’t highlight the gravity of the threat during the briefing.
“On January 23, I was told that there could be a virus coming in but it was of no real import. In other words, it wasn’t, ‘Oh we gotta do something, we gotta do something.’ It was a brief conversation and it was only on January 23,” Trump said during a Fox News town hall.
