President Donald Trump’s oxygen level fell rapidly on Friday morning fueling concerns about his health, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Saturday night.

In an interview with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, Meadows said both he and White House physician Dr. Sean Conley were “real concerned” by Trump’s condition on Friday morning, after he was diagnosed with Covid-19.

“He’s made unbelievable improvement from yesterday morning when I know a number of us, the doctor and I, were very concerned,” Meadows said.

“The biggest thing that we see is that with no fever now, and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels… Yesterday morning, we were real concerned about that. He had a fever, and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly.”
