President Donald Trump claimed Sunday that the US intelligence community"did NOT bring up the CoronaVirus subject matter until late into January" and that"they only spoke of the Virus in a very non-threatening, or matter of fact, manner."
CNN and other news outlets have reported that the President's daily intelligence briefing included information about the coronavirus outbreak in China and its potential to spread to the United States as early as January 3. It is not clear whether Trump -- who infrequently reads the President's Daily Brief compiled by intelligence officials -- read the information at the time or whether officials briefing the President in person raised the issue.
