(CBS News)President Trump changed his rhetoric on wearing masks in a press conference Tuesday, saying that “they have an impact.” Mr. Trump’s comments came as dozens of states and the District of Columbia experience a rise in coronavirus infections.
Mr. Trump spoke about the worsening crisis in a briefing that came the day after the president announced he would revive White House coronavirus task force briefings, which were a near-daily staple throughout much of March and into April before tapering off in favor of White House events focused on resurrecting the ailing economy.
