Donald Trump’s campaign (74) against his electoral defeat has suffered another setback: his closest legal adviser, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (76), tested positive for Corona. It is not known if he has any symptoms, but he is in the Washington hospital.
His fault, one might say, because Giuliani barely adhered to the Crown’s measures. After his son Andrew (34), a White House employee, and campaign advisor Boris Epshteyn (38) tested positive in late November, Giuliani decided not to go into quarantine. To do this, he traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he spoke with Republican officials in a crowded hotel ballroom.
Giuliani had also performed elsewhere in recent days. He often didn’t wear a mask, shook hands, hugged people, and photographed himself with Trump fans.
Arizona Parliament closes
Journalist Jenn Dize is convinced that she caught it herself at one of Giuliani’s events. She tweeted: “I was sleeping, a Covid side effect that I picked up on at Rudy’s press conference. Rudy was without a mask when his crew allowed us to get closer. “
Jen Jordan, 46, a Democratic senator in Georgia, was outraged by the news of Giuliani’s infection. Giuliani – without a mask, in a fully occupied courtroom for seven hours. Little did I know that the most credible death threat I encountered last week was Trump’s own attorney, ”he wrote on Twitter.
The Arizona Parliament closes for a week after Giuliani met with some deputies.
“A tough warrior”
Trump tweeted that Giuliani had worked “tirelessly” to uncover the “most corrupt elections (by far!)” In US history. The president sent good wishes to his lawyer. “We will move on !!!”, he added.
Giuliani himself tweeted from the hospital late Sunday night: “I am very well cared for and I feel fine.” He is recovering very fast. Trump’s attorney Jenna Ellis (36) wrote: “Giuliani is a tough warrior!” The Trump team is cheering itself on: Trump’s lawyers’ work is unaffected by Giuliani’s infection and they continue.
But with Giuliani, Trump’s second close confidant, who was supposed to challenge the election result, it was canceled: Giuliani had taken on this job from campaign advisor David Bossie (55), who was incapacitated due to a corona infection. .
Polluted white house
Trump has repeatedly downplayed the danger of the corona virus and, after his own corona-related hospital stay, asked Americans “not to be afraid of it.” Numerous people in his environment tested positive for the virus, in addition to Trump’s wife, Melania (50) and their children Barron (14) and Donald (42), also close employees in the White House like Chief of Staff Mark Meadows ( 61). Trump’s confidant, Chris Christie (58), distanced himself from the president after a severe course of Covid.
Since the start of the pandemic, about 282,000 people have died in connection with an infection in the United States. For five consecutive days, more than 2,200 people died each day. The number of new infections each day reaches new peaks. In the last days there were more than 200,000 in 24 hours. (gf)
