Fox News Channel's chief White House Correspondent made headlines when President Donald Trump lashed out at him during the briefing of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic back in late March 2020. It was a question that Trump did not like. Roberts did not hesitate to ask Trump why his administration disbanded the National Security Council's global health security unit.
Donald Trump immediately said, 'We didn’t do that. That turned out to be a false story.'
John Roberts disagreed with the President's response, but Trump erupted with a statement citing, 'What are you working for CNN? I thought you were with Fox. But Fox isn’t so easy either, don’t kid yourself.'
The May 2018 article of The New York Times mentions, 'The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.'
