GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida is the latest member of President Trump’s circle to test positive for the coronavirus.
Gaetz, 38, told multiple people on Capitol Hill and in the White House that he contracted the virus, Politico reported. The Republican congressman, who was reelected Tuesday, did not comment on the news.
The news comes hours after word broke that Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tested positive amid an ongoing outbreak at the White House. According to ABC News, an additional five White House staffers, and a Trump campaign worker have also tested positive.
