President Donald Trump is admitting he was not joking when he told supporters in Tulsa on Saturday, “I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down please.'” CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang on Tuesday asked Trump if he was kidding when he made those remarks.
Trump replied: “I don’t kid.” He then went on to discuss the pros and supposed cons of testing. Trump’s admission flies in the face of what the White House has been claiming since Saturday.
