Trump personal valet tests positive for coronavirus, but White House says president is negative
A personal valet for President Donald Trump, who among other things serves meals to the president, has tested positive for the coronavirus, but a White House spokesman said Thursday that Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have since tested negative. A White House official who spoke to NBC News said the male valet, like other valets, does not wear a mask around the president. "We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health." The vice president did not wear a mask during his visit to the facility, which houses some patients with Covid-19.

US President Donald Trump speaks about COVID-19, known as coronavirus, after signing a Proclamation in honor of National Nurses Day in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, May 6, 2020. The White House is weighing a second Tax Day delay, according to NBC News. The tax deadline which the Treasury Department has already pushed back to July 15 could go as far out as Sept. 15 or even Dec. 15, those people said. However, administration officials told NBC News that no decision has been made. Pushing back tax deadlines too far could lead to taxpayers shelling out for massive payments in the future, some say.
