Trump shames reporters for coverage of partnership with Google to fight coronavirus

President Trump criticized reporters for what he said were false reports about the federal government partnering with Google to provide information about the coronavirus.

“I want to thank the people at Google and Google Communications because, as you know, they substantiated what I said on Friday,” Trump said during a White House news conference on Sunday. "The head of Google, who’s a great gentleman, called us, and he apologized. I don’t know where the press got their fake news, but they got it someplace.”

Trump continued: "It would be great if we could really give the news correctly. It would be so, so, wonderful.”
