On Friday morning, cable news anchors took to their desks to discuss the wave of "unanswered questions" now hanging in the air after President Trump's announcement that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19.
Hours earlier, around 1 a.m. ET, the president tweeted the news, saying that he and the first lady will "begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately." The tweet came hours after news broke that White House senior aide Hope Hicks had tested positive and had come down with the virus after traveling with the president several times this week.
All of the cable news channels had special coverage overnight to cover the news, disregarding their normal overnight programming.
