Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant has tested positive for coronavirus, according to CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins. This is at least the fourth confirmed White House coronavirus case including President Donald Trump’s valet, Vice President Donald Pence’s press secretary, and 11 secret servicemen.
In a tweet, Collins wrote, “The assistant, who works in a personal capacity, hasn’t been around Ivanka in several weeks & has been teleworking. Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner both tested negative today, source says.”
Meanwhile, Trump and Pence haven’t been wearing face masks in public even though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other states strongly encourage it as a way to stop the virus. Trump and Pence are afraid it’ll “send the wrong message” to U.S. voters, and yet White House staff members now have to wear a mask around Trump ever since his valet contracted the virus.
