Trump returned to the White House on Monday
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Trump returned to the Oval Office Wednesday after being released earlier this week from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he had been treated for COVID-19.
Trump announced on Twitter that he was being briefed on Hurricane Delta, and spoke to the governors of Texas and Louisiana.

A White House official had told Fox News that the president's Wednesday briefing was also on negotiations for a potential economic stimulus package. Negotiations over a package had been ongoing but Trump had shut them down Tuesday night when he accused Democrats of not negotiating in good faith.
