Miller had been in recent contact with Pence but not with the president and had tested negative a day earlier. She is married to Stephen Miller, a top Trump advisor. The White House had no immediate comment on whether Stephen Miller had been tested or if he was still working in the White House.

Redfield sought to use the exposure as a teachable moment.

Those guidelines call for Redfield and anyone working on the task force to have their temperature taken and screened for symptoms each day, wear a face covering, and distance themselves from others.
