WASHINGTON (MaceNews) – The following is the latest advisory from the White House as relayed by the pool reporter Sunday night:
Asked what protocols were used tonight to protect the safety of others in the hospital, the driver, security and additional people involved into tonight’s drive-by with the president, as well as whether the president’s doctors cleared the decision, White House spokesman Judd Deere told your pooler:
“Appropriate precautions were taken in the execution of this movement to protect the President and all those supporting it, including PPE. The movement was cleared by the medical team as safe to do.”
He did not answer additional questions, such as whether the drive-by happened at the president’s request, whether the president met with anyone in person today, or why the pool wasn’t notified and called back.
