The letter was released by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
TRENDING: BREAKING: President Trump Is Being Taken to Walter Reed National Medical Center …Update: Trump Will Walk to Marine One
I release the following with the permission of President Donald J. Trump.
This afternoon, in consultation with specialists from Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins University, I recommended movement of the President up to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for further monitoring. This evening I am happy to report that the President is doing very well. He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, but in consultation with specialists we have elected to initiate Remdesivir therapy. He has completed his first dose and is resting comfortably.

The letter followed a report Friday night by CNN that stated Trump was having trouble breathing:
“Jim Acosta just now on CNN: “I talked to a Trump campaign advisor a short while ago that said this is serious. That the president has been having some trouble breathing, that he’s been very fatigued today, very tired.”
