the way I read this is he said the Trump Impeachment was the hoax, not the coronavirus...

Exactly...from another The Hill article..."He also accused the press of peddling a false narrative about the administration “scrambling” to contain the virus, saying he briefed Congress with other top health officials six weeks ago. He accused the media of ignoring the coronavirus until now because publications were too preoccupied with Trump’s impeachment before that, which he called a “hoax.”"
