A number of Trump campaign staffers tested positive for coronavirus last week ahead of the president’s big Tulsa rally. That reportedly included two Secret Service agents.

Trump will not follow New Jersey coronavirus quarantine order, ‘he’s not a civilian,’ White House says

“The president of the United States is not a civilian,” said a White House spokesman when asked about Trump’s compliance with the quarantine order given his travel Tuesday to Arizona, which has seen a rise in the rate of its Covid-19 cases.
