White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, who has been in quarantine due to a known contact, has officially tested positive for COVID-19.
"Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through [Monday]," Miller wrote in a statement. "Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine."
Miller's wife, Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence, contracted the virus in May but recovered.
Jalen Drummond, an assistant press secretary, tested positive for the coronavirus, according to people familiar with the matter. Several other press aides have been infected, including White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Chad Gilmartin, and Karoline Leavitt.
Drummond's case brings to at least 22 the number of people tied to recent White House interactions who have contracted the coronavirus, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
