A quick read of the article confirms that a google subsidiary IS MAKING A WEBSITE. Trump got all the details wrong as usual, but the main idea is true. That article just seems like its fishing for "trump bad" material.
Not a subsidiary of Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet.

I don't think the President ever mentioned it being next week. Also, see this from Google communication: https://twitter.com/Google_Comms/status/1238989460127338497 This effort for a nationwide testing website is different from and in addition to what Verily was already doing at a smaller scale in Bay Area (although I imagine there will be lots of overlap and shared code etc.)
The President said it would be up on Sunday.

#43Found it strange that some parts of media decided to focus on the semantics of Google and Verily being different subsidiaries of Alphabet. This is an almost meaningless detail.

I searched for "Sunday" there, and they only mention they'll be able to provide details of when the testing website will be available by Sunday evening. They didn't say the website will go live Sunday.

Can you point out to me the statement where Google denies working on the web tool?
Google Communications says here that Verily (a sister company to Google) is working on a small scale tool for the Bay area: https://twitter.com/Google_Comms/status/1238574670686928906
> for the Bay area
Them (in the Tweet you linked to):
> ... with the hope of expanding more broadly over time.

The news outlets should be holding the president's feet to the fire and demanding accountability.
