President Donald Trump said Friday evening that he thought Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar was referring to the"concept" of pandemics after it was reported Azar said last year the threat of a pandemic kept him up at night.
CNN's KFile reported earlier Friday that Azar said in April 2019 at the Biodefense Summit that the threat of a pandemic kept him up at night, undercutting Trump's previous claims that"nobody knew" there could be a pandemic. When asked about KFile's reporting by CNN's Jim Acosta, Trump said he assumed Azar's comments referred to the"concept" of a pandemic and not any specific threat, and the President said he"always knew" pandemics were bad.
