Former President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID two days before his first debate with then-candidate Joe Biden — and then lied about it. That's the accusation from Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows in a new memoir.

The Guardian obtained an early copy.

In the memoir, Meadows says after Trump's positive test, he turned in an earlier negative test.
