Andrew Giuliani, a special assistant to President Donald Trump and the son of Trump project attorney Rudy Giuliani, said he checked positive for coronavirus Friday, a day after going to a congested interview where his dad and other campaign lawyers did not wear masks.
” I am experiencing moderate signs, and am following all appropriate procedures, consisting of remaining in quarantine and carrying out contact tracing,” the younger Giuliani stated in a tweet disclosing his Covid-19 positive test.
Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, another top legal representative on the Trump campaign team, both tested negative for the coronavirus, Ellis stated in a tweet posted later on Friday.
” The entire legal team will continue to follow the advice and procedures of our doctors,” Ellis wrote.
Andrew Giuliani works as a sports liaison at the White Home, with a yearly salary of $95,000, according to government documents.
His Twitter profile says he is “Currently serving the American public as Special Assistant to President Donald J. Trump till January 20, 2025.”
Later Friday, NBC News reported that 3 low-level White House staffers also checked favorable for coronavirus in recent days.
A project official told NBC News that Andrew wore a mask while in the audience of journalism conference Thursday led by his father, the former New york city City mayor, at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington.
At that almost two-hour event, Rudy Giuliani and other lawyers for the Trump project spoke at length, without wearing masks, as they claimed without evidence that prevalent ballot fraud had rigged the presidential election for Democrat Joe Biden.
The Trump project and allies have failed to persuade any judges of such fraud in multiple court actions, and Biden’s campaign has blasted what it calls baseless claims.
