Biden on report Trump tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of 2020 debate: 'I don't think about the former President'
CNN
President Joe Biden on Wednesday had a sharp response to a reporter's question on a report that suggested then-President Donald Trump tested positive for Covid-19 last year earlier than previously disclosed.
Trump tested positive for Covid-19 three days ahead of his first 2020 presidential debate with Biden -- though he also had a negative result in that same timeframe, according to excerpts from a forthcoming book from the former Republican president's chief of staff reported by The Guardian.
Asked whether he felt Trump put him at risk when the two appeared on stage together at an October debate, Biden said: "I don't think about the former president" before leaving the room.

The morning after the mass resignation of prosecutors sparked a crisis inside the Trump Justice Department, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove led a meeting with the Justice Department’s public integrity section. His message: they had to choose one career lawyer to file a dismissal of the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to three people briefed on the meeting.

A federal prosecutor assigned to the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams resigned Friday in a blistering letter that accused top leaders at the Justice Department of looking for a “fool” to dismiss the criminal charges.
