By Rebecca Ballhaus Close Rebecca Ballhaus and Catherine Lucey Close Catherine Lucey Updated Oct. 1, 2020 11:12 pm ET President Trump said he and the first lady would begin quarantining while they await the results of their Covid-19 tests, after Hope Hicks, a senior White House adviser who traveled with the president this week, tested positive for the coronavirus.
Earlier in the evening, the White House had released a schedule for Friday that showed Mr. Trump attending an indoor fundraiser at the Trump hotel in Washington and traveling to Florida for a campaign rally. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a question on whether that schedule would be changed.
He said he and first lady Melania Trump had been tested because they spend a lot of time with Ms. Hicks. “So whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don’t know,” he said. He later added: “We’ll see what happens.” His tweet announcing he would start quarantining came nearly an hour later. Ms. Hicks didn’t respond to a request for comment. Her positive test was earlier reported by Bloomberg News.
