The White House on Monday canceled a scheduled 5 p.m. Eastern coronavirus briefing, which will mark the third straight day without the event. President Donald Trump over the weekend questioned the use of the briefings, saying in a tweet that the media "asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately." On Thursday, Trump urged aides to study the possibility of injecting disinfectant into patients to fight the coronavirus, but later said his comments were in jest. He also tweeted critical comments about the news media on Monday, saying there was never a more "hostile" media in U.S. history.
