President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien has tested positive for COVID-19, Bloomberg News correspondent Jennifer Jacobs reported Monday.
O’Brien is the latest of several White House officials and other people close to the president who have become infected with the virus in the past few weeks.
This month, just ahead of the president’s Fourth of July speech at Mount Rushmore, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr. and was planning to attend the event, also tested positive, prompting her to leave and abandon her support staff. Council of Economic Advisers acting chairman Tomas Philipson also came down with the virus.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
