Trump defends his COVID-19 response, reacts to brother's hospitalization in press briefing | FULL

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that his brother Robert is "having a hard time" after being hospitalized in New York.

Trump made the comments during a press conference in the White House, before departing to New York to visit his brother who is currently hospitalized in the intensive care unit at a New York hospital.

Trump announced that his administration will be collaborating with McKesson, a major medical supplier, to distribute COVID-19 vaccine once it's approved.

He questioned Russia's COVID-19 vaccine, which that nation announced was approved earlier this week, and raised concerns on the Russians "cutting off certain trials" and not going through the full trial process.

"I hope it works," the president added.

The president also announced that Kevin Clinesmith, a former FBI attorney, is expected to plead guilty for falsifying a document as part of a deal with prosecutors investigating a criminal inquiry as part of the Russia investigation.

According to Clinesmith's lawyer, he had agreed to plead guilty for altering an email from the C.I.A. which was relied on by investigators to seek renewed court permission in 2017 for a secret wiretap on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The U.S. has over 5 million cases of COVID-19 with more than 167,000 deaths.
