Breaking: Trump Gettysburg Trip Canceled After Giuliani Second Close Contact With COVID Announced

President Trump’s trip to meet with GOP Pennsylvania state lawmakers in Gettysburg Wednesday afternoon was abruptly cancelled after it was announced that a second person in close contact with lead campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani the past week has tested positive for the COVID-19 China coronavirus. Campaign advisor Boris Epshteyn posted on Twitter Wednesday morning he was positive and experiencing mild symptoms. A few days ago Giuliani’s son Andrew who works at the White House was reported to be positive for the virus, however Giuliani tested negative after being in contact with his son.

Epshteyn, who appeared at last Thursday’s news conference with Giuliani and other campaign lawyers, wrote on Twitter, “I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including quarantining and contact tracing.” Andrew Giuliani also attended the press conference.

Andrew Giuliani announced his COVID illness on November 20, “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing.”

Campaign attorney Jenna Ellis said on the same day that she and Rudy tested negative, “Mayor @RudyGiuliani and I have both tested negative for COVID-19. The entire legal team will continue to follow the advice and protocols of our doctors.”
