of course they all knew. Presumably before, and we knew very early.

Anyway, the president gets briefed first and always, every day, so we know he was.

It was probably people from his admin that made the briefing.

Now whether he bothered to listen to a briefing or believe it, that is another matter.

My guess is that he believed FOX more than his admin experts.

and Trump went ahead with his Mar a Lago fundraisers weekend of March 6th. Seems many top Repubs were most concerned either with unloading their stocks and fundraising while he and right wing media were downplaying it and their business friends in media kept trying to prop up the markets advising public to stay in.
