Republican congressman Louis Gohmert, of Texas, has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 after he refused to wear a mask at a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Politico reports.
Gohmert, who was scheduled to travel to Texas with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, was said to have tested positive during a pre-screening for the trip, according to Politico.
On Tuesday, Gohmert was seen without a mask at a House Judiciary Committee hearing where Attorney General Bill Barr was testifying.
Gohmert is on record saying that he does not wear a mask because he is regularly tested for the virus.
