| 0:35.9 | This is a CBS News special report. I'm Nora O'Donnell in the nation's capital. We are coming on the air with breaking news at this hour. You are looking at live pictures of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. President Trump is expected to leave there in the next few minutes, three days almost to the minute after being admitted to the hospital to receive |
| 0:55.3 | aggressive treatment for coronavirus. Now, we expect that the president will walk out of the hospital |
| 1:00.6 | and then get into a motorcade for a short drive to the helicopter landing zone. He will then |
| 1:06.4 | board Marine One for the 10-minute flight back to the south lawn of the White House. |

| 1:55.0 | that is not available to most Americans. |
| 1:58.1 | His doctor says he will continue his treatment at the White House, which is equipped |
| 2:01.7 | with an advanced medical office there. There are still very many unanswered questions as we |
| 2:07.7 | come on the air about the president's symptoms and about how sick he actually is. Among the |
| 2:12.1 | medications he is receiving is a steroid usually reserved for the most serious cases. And his physician, Dr. Sean Conley, |
| 2:19.3 | admitted it was uncharted territory to receive such aggressive treatment so early in a patient's |
| 2:25.4 | illness. Now, the president will also be returning to a White House that is in the midst of a coronavirus |
