Robert O’Brien, Pres. Trump’s national security adviser, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a Bloomberg report confirmed by the White House. 
O’Brien, pictured above in a 2019 photo with Trump, is working off-site now and has ‘mild symptoms,’ the White House told news outlets in a statement, saying that there is ‘no risk of exposure to the president or the vice president.’
O’Brien, who joined the administration in September 2019, contracted the virus during ‘a few days off,’ Bloomberg reports, and ‘hasn’t seen Trump since before his vacation.’
They were last seen publicly together on July 10 during the president’s trip to U.S. Southern Command in Florida. O’Brien is now the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration publicly known to have tested positive for the virus.
In May, Katie Miller, a press secretary for the vice president and a personal valet to the president, tested positive.
Since then, a number of Secret Service agents and campaign staffers have tested positive following public Trump events, including Kimberly Guilfoyle, a Trump campaign fundraising official and Don Trump Jr.s’ girlfriend, who tested positive ahead of a Trump event in South Dakota
