President Donald Trump referred to Fox News viewers as "especially" important at a COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday.

Trump made the remarks after Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts asked about a proposed economic relief package.

As he was answering the question, the president was asked by Roberts to move closer to the microphone.

"You can hear me well enough, I imagine," Trump said before realizing that "people at home" might not be able to hear him.

"Especially, your people," Trump added, pointing to the Fox News correspondent.
