Trump's COVID-19 test result was negative, says White House 

The U.S. President Trump's COVID-19 test result was negative, the president's physician, Sean Conley, said in a statement on Saturday.

"Last night after an in-depth discussion with the President regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed," Conley wrote in the memorandum. "This evening I received confirmation that the test is negative."

Earlier in the day, Trump confirmed he has been tested for the virus at a White House press briefing.

The White House physician had previously said in a memo that the president "remains without symptoms, testing for COVID-19 is not currently indicated."
