evidence: Veterans Secretary Robert Wilkie said the hydroxychloroquine study was not from the VA but used data from veterans' hospitals 'It was given by, obviously not friends of the administration, and the study came out, people were ready to die. Everybody was old, had bad problems with hearts, diabetes and everything else you can imagine,' President Trump added, blasting what he called a phony study put out by the VA. [...] 'Well I've worked with doctors and if you look at the one survey - the only bad survey - they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape. It was a Trump enemy statement,' he said during a visit to Capitol Hill. [...] 'If you look at that phony report that was put - in that report or the hydroxy was given to people that were an extraordinarily bad condition, extraordinary bad people that were dying. No, I think for whatever it's worth I take I was,' he said.
