Trump campaign adviser tests positive after attending legal team's press conference

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/25/20 10:36 AM EST

An adviser to the Trump campaign who was part of a lengthy press conference last week with several of the president's lawyers has tested positive for the coronavirus, he tweeted Wednesday.

"I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including quarantining and contact tracing," Boris Epshteyn said.




Epshteyn stood alongside Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell on Thursday at a press conference in which the members of President Trump's legal team levied unproven and at times conspiratorial allegations that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that Trump won in a "landslide."

Giuliani's son, Andrew Giuliani, announced last Friday that he had tested positive.

despite several instances of being in close contact with others who did. Maybe Rudy is just a walking dead person. After all he was liquefying in front of us the other day.

Grecian Formula-19, side effects include embarrassment, humiliation and the only hair worse than Trump's.

until they unceremoniously dropped his sorry ass.

I mean, Sinclair is conservative, but Epshteyn is a real nut job.

continuing a streak of > 6,000 cases per day this past week.

I expect these idiots will be completely unmasked at that venue.

Not surprised Epshteyn is still skulking around the Trump camp, though.

It would be a real shame if he got super sick.

Schadenfreude aside, every time I hear how people are infected by when grouped together it brings home how extremely contagious COVID is.
