⁍ Hope Hicks, a top adviser and trusted aide, tested positive for the coronavirus.
⁍ She travels regularly with the president on Air Force One.
⁍ Hicks’ positive test raises the possibility that others within Trump’s immediate circle and at the highest levels of the U.S. government may have been exposed.
– “Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible!” tweeted President Trump on Thursday. “The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!” Hicks, who is Trump’s communications director and a longtime aide, is now under quarantine, Reuters reports. The White House says Trump “takes the health and safety of himself and everyone who works in support of him and the American people very seriously.”
