Should Trump or his Doctor be permitted to lie about whether he took a coronavirus test?

Do the people have a right to know whether or not the President of the United States is actively spreading the disease about every single day?

Should the Doctor be asked publicly if he gave the test to Trump? What did he mean when he said he "received confirmation" that the test was "negative"? Does he know for a fact that the test was negative or did someone tell him?

This is not a lie that the people should accept. It is too important to not know for sure.

I don't know?

It just seems too important to not know for sure.
