Last week, Trump said he had been taking the drug for weeks to prevent contracting the novel virus.

"He reacted poorly to some of the questions that were asked of him. He did attempt to answer certain questions in a very thoughtful way, but still, many, many questions remain. "And we need to know if ICE agents...
