Transcript: President Trump's Doctors Provide Saturday Update On His Health

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley gives an update on the condition of President Donald Trump Saturday at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

Eds note: President Trump's doctors gave a briefing Saturday morning outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. In a statement later, Dr. Sean Conley said he misspoke during his news conference. He said he incorrectly used 72 hours instead of "day three" for the president's diagnosis. He also said a reference to 48 hours ago should have been "day two" for administering Regeneron.

A transcript of the briefing follows:

CONLEY: Good morning everyone. Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president. This morning, I'd like to start by first sharing that the president and first family, first lady are extremely grateful for the enormous outpouring of support and prayers that the whole world and country have been providing.

I'd like to thank Colonel Andrew Barr and all the medical and support staff here at Walter Reed for the tireless efforts providing everything and anything the medical team, the president and I could need this morning. This morning, the president is doing very well.

Behind me are some of the members of the president's medical team, whom I'd like to introduce. Dr. Sean Dooley, pulmonary critical care doctor. Brian Garibaldi, pulmonary critical care. Dr. Robert Browning, pulmonary critical care. Dr. Jason Blaylock, infectious disease. Dr. Wes Campbell, infectious disease. Dr. John Hodgson, anesthesia. Major Kurt Klein, Army
