The spokesperson said: “Donald tested positive at the beginning of the week and has been quarantined in his room since the result … He has been completely asymptomatic thus far and is following all medically recommended Covid 19 guidelines.”
Bloomberg was the first to report the positive result for Trump Jr.
Trump Jr became the last person close to the US President to test positive for the Corona virus. In addition to him, First Lady Melania Trump, her youngest son Barron, her chief of staff Mark Meadows and several other high-level advisers in her campaign and in the White House have shown positive results in recent months.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr’s girlfriend, also tested positive for the virus over the summer as the duo campaigned for Trump across the country.
Trump Jr. was among the roughly 250 guests who attended the House Election Night party at the White House, where nearly all of the attendees were seen without a mask. Since then, other attendees have tested positive, including Meadows Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, and White House Director of Political Affairs Brian Jack.
Trump Jr. posted a lot of misinformation about the Corona virus. Late last month, he told Fox News that the number of Corona deaths was now “close to zero.”
During the summer, his Twitter account was restricted after he posted a video spreading false information about hydroxychloroquine. He sarcastically shared on Facebook that he questioned the effectiveness of wearing masks against the Corona virus.
The news comes as the coronavirus is spreading across the country, with daily case logs logged almost every day in November, and it is also spreading through the corridors of power in Washington.
Two Republican senators, Rick Scott of Florida and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, announced in recent days that they had tested positive, and so far, 26 members of the House of Representatives and 10 members of the Senate have tested positive or presumptive positive. Since the beginning of the epidemic.
