BREAKING: 2 Pence Staffers, Trump's Personal Valet Test POSITIVE For COVID-19
This is a breaking news story, and more information will be added as it becomes available— From AJC just minutes ago:
Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary has tested positive for coronavirus along with another member of his staff, just two days after one of President Donald Trump’s personal valets was also diagnosed, according to several news reports.
What is a “personal valet”? AJC explains it is one of the runners who gets President Trump his treasured Diet Cokes and other things he needs on short notice, so presumably this is a person routinely in close physical contact with the President.
“She’s a wonderful young woman, Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time,” Trump said of VP Pence’s press secretary. “And then all of a the sudden today she tested positive. She hasn’t come into contact with me. She’s spent some time with the vice president.”
She is, however, the wife of President Trump’s speechwriter. Prayers to all!
