Here’s more:
Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller has tested positive for COVID-19, he told CBS News in a statement. He said that he had already been working remotely and in isolation.
“Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday,” he said. “Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine.”
Miller is a key aide to the president, and frequently writes his speeches.
His wife, Katie Miller, who is Vice President Pence’s press secretary, tested positive for coronavirus in May.
So it sounds like he got it last week, just like Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and it took awhile for him to go positive.
Since he’s been self-isolating for the last 5 days, they can’t blame Trump for it, which I’m sure the media is itching to do and probably will anyway.
