A NAVY official who is one of President Donald Trump’s personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus.
President Trump was upset upon learning the news, CNN reported, and has been tested and found to be negative.
The valet was a member of the military unit assigned to serve the White House, raising questions about the first family’s exposure to the disease.
‘We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus,’ deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. ‘The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health.’
