The US vice president's spokeswoman became the second White House staffer this week to test positive for the coronavirus, officials said Friday, even as
President Donald Trump continued to go mask-free at a World War II commemoration with veterans in their 90s.
A senior administration official initially said only that a member of Pence's staff had been tested and found to have the coronavirus. Trump, speaking later at an event with Republican lawmakers, identified the person as"Katie," saying she works with Pence as a"press person." This confirmed multiple US media reports that Katie Miller was the person in question.
On Thursday, a Trump spokesman said the president's valet, a member of the military who is in close contact with the president, had tested positive. Trump and Pence were tested and confirmed to be negative. Both are tested daily. The latest scare came as Trump is pressing for a quicker reopening of the US economy, which has been hammered by the fallout from mass lockdowns and social distancing.
The president, who at 73 is well within the higher-risk group for COVID-19, met eight American veterans ranging in age from 96 to 100. Neither he nor the veterans wore masks, although he kept a few steps from them.
