Mark Meadows: Trump Still Improving, 'Optimistic' for Return to White House

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said President Donald Trump's condition "continued to improve" Sunday night and that he may still leave the hospital Monday as he battles a COVID-19 infection.

John Roberts of Fox News tweeted the update from Meadows:

"URGENT: From WH COS Mark Meadows to Fox News: 'Spoke to the President this morning. He continued to improve over night and is ready to get back to a normal working schedule. He will meet with his doctors and nurses this morning to make further assessments of his progress.

"We are still optimistic that he will be able to return to the White House later today.'"

Trump was airlifted from the White House to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, Friday evening, the day after he tested positive for the coronavirus. Despite receiving various treatments for the disease, Trump briefly left the hospital Sunday to drive past supporters gathering outside.

The White House has also released several images of Trump working in Walter Reed.
