White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has contracted the coronavirus, according to a report Friday.
Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported it was not clear when Meadows learned he was infected with the virus or whether he had developed symptoms.
According to one source, Meadows informed his close circle of advisers after Tuesday’s presidential election.
Bloomberg also reported Nick Trainer, Trump campaign’s director for battleground strategy, tested positive for the disease.
