Trump Moved to Walter Reed Hospital

President Trump has left the White House on Marine One, heading to the military hospital, The Walter Reed Medical Center, in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.

The helicopter, which Trump boarded under his own power, left the White House's South Lawn at 6:20pm Washington DC time en route to the hospital after Trump received an experimental "antibody cocktail" to treat his being infected with COVID-19. The move is said recommended by his physician  "out of an abundance of caution" as a “precautionary measure”.
