NEW: Aides now say the White House testing protocols are riddled with serious holes. Officials travel back and forth from EEOB to WH. Tests done randomly. Not everyone tested. Tests not always accurate.

Testing causes case numbers to rise! Stop all testing and your cases numbers will fall to zero. Don't believe me? See Mr. Trump's published statements on that -- he's the world's smartest public health scientist.
