Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trumps closest senior advisers, tested positive for the coronavirus, a source close to the Trump campaign told NBC News on Thursday.
She is among the highest-profile members of the administration to test positive and is in frequent contact with Trump, but there is no indication the president has contracted the virus.
Hicks, whose diagnosis was first reported by Bloomberg News, recently traveled on the Marine One helicopter and on Air Force One with the president to Cleveland for Tuesdays debate along with roughly 20 to 30 aides and family members and was seen backstage. Hicks was also on the plane traveling to Trumps rally in Minnesota Wednesday night, along with the presidents son-in-law and top aide Jared Kushner and with Dan Scavino, another top White House adviser.
She was seen in a photo on Wednesday not wearing a mask after exiting Marine One with Kushner and White House aide Stephen Miller.

(10,279 posts)3. Hicks has it -- determined by testing. Now what? According to Mr. Trump,
testing gives more positive cases. So, I expect that he will stop all testing of close WH staffers and family. And, himself.
Do I believe that? Of course not. He wants the public to stop testing, but he will increase the frequency for himself.
