“I can tell you this the biggest thing we see is with no fever now, and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels,” Meadows told Fox host Jeanine Pirro.

WASHINGTON: White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows revealed that President Donald Trump's condition on Friday was far worse than officials had made public, saying doctors recommended the president go to the hospital after seeing he had a fever and his blood oxygen level dropped rapidly.

Meadows made the comments in an interview with Fox News broadcast Saturday night that capped two days of conflicting and opaque assessments of the 74-year-old president's health.

"I can tell you this the biggest thing we see is with no fever now, and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels," Meadows told Fox host Jeanine Pirro. “Yesterday morning we were really concerned by that. He had a fever, and his oxygen level had dropped rapidly. Yet in typical style, this president was up and walking around."

Earlier in the day, Trump had said in a video on Twitter that he is "starting to feel good" and “will be back soon.” However, White House physician Sean Conley has said the president is "not yet out of the woods".

The Trump administration has consistently been less than transparent about the president's health as the virus spread inside the White House.

Even the sunnier briefing by Sean Conley and other doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center on October 3 raised more questions than it answered, including about whether the president has ever required supplemental oxygen and exactly when he fell ill.

US President Donald Trump thanked the American people and world leaders for their support and said he has started to “feel much better”, in a video he shared on Twitter on October 4.

Trump, who was admitted to a military hospital for the treatment of COVID-19, said the team of his doctors was working very hard to get him back, and he would be back soon on the campaign trail.

“I came here. Wasn't feeling so well. I feel much better now. We're working hard to get me all the way back. I have to be back because we still have to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in the video.
