Trump aide Hope Hicks tests positive for COVID-19

White House adviser Hope Hicks has tested positive for COVID-19, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill on Thursday, after she traveled with President Trump on Air Force One earlier in the week.

Hicks is the closest aide to Trump to test positive for the virus. She spends significant amounts of time with him in the Oval Office and travels frequently with him. Hicks was on Air Force One on Tuesday when Trump and a coterie of other aides went to the presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, and she was spotted on the plane when the president held a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Staffers who are in close contact with the president are tested daily, meaning Hicks likely received her positive test on Thursday.
