MSNBC's Hallie Jackson tried six times to get White House Deputy Press Secretary Brian Morgenstern to tell her when Trump last has a negative Covid-19 test, and every time Morgenstern wriggled out of answering.
From Mediate:
"For the last debate, the 72 -hour requirement to test negative. Did the president comply with that? Yes or no?" Jackson asked again, without any luck.
"Do you not have an answer? I just want to be clear. I know, again, yes or no, do you have an answer and if you don't just say you don't have an answer," Jackson asked for the sixth and last time.
"Let's talk about how we want to help people get through this virus with more stimulus that the speaker seems to ignore," Morgenstern said, trying desperately to change the subject. "She's talking about the 25th Amendment because she couldn't get the president with impeachment."
"That is not the topic of this conversation, Brian, as you know," Jackson said. "Again, critical piece of information. One of your colleagues just yesterday told me it was a fair question and you would try to give us the information on that. I was hoping you'd have that for us today. Certainly hope you'll come back with that."
