President Trump denied he was going to fire Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
In a tweet, Trump said that"Reports that H.H.S. Secretary @AlexAzar is going to be 'fired' by me" are false.The President accused the media of being"...desperate to create the perception of chaos & havoc in the minds of the public. They never even called to ask. Alex is doing an excellent job!" Azar echoed Trump's message in his own tweet thread later Sunday evening attacking the media and praising the President's coronavirus response.
"HHS spokeswoman Caitlin Oakley said Saturday that Azar"is busy responding to a global, public health crisis and doesn't have time for palace intrigue."Still, the discussions come after Trump appointed Vice President Mike Pence, rather than Azar, as the White House's point man for coronavirus response at a rare presidential news conference.
