Joe Biden gave a rather crisp answer to a question about the recent revelation that Donald Trump tested positive for COVID on Sept. 26, 2020, three days before a presidential debate in Cleveland.
While Biden spoke with reporters Wednesday, a report about former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadow's new memoir came up. The Chief's Chief, which is out Tuesday, contains passages about the days leading up to Trump's hospital stay to be treated for a COVID infection.
"Mark Meadows has written a book revealing that President Trump tested positive for COVID a few days before your first debate. Do you think the former president put you at risk?" a reporter asked the president.
Biden paused briefly, waved dismissively and said, "I don't think about the former president." He then thanked the press, left the podium and walked out of the room as reporters shouted more questions about the report.
