The Guardian reports that Trump was asked at his meeting with Republican lawmakers earlier on Friday who on Mike Pence’s staff had tested positive for coronavirus.
He said: “She is a wonderful young woman, Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time and then all of sudden she tested positive. She has not come into contact with me, she spent some time with the Vice President. It’s, I believe, the press person, so she tested positive out of the blue.”
Katie Miller (nee Waldman) is married to the top adviser to the president, Stephen Miller.
The White House strongly defended its efforts earlier to protect Trump and Pence from catching Coronavirus.
