13 November 2020

Secret conversations show just how long staffers have been concerned about Trump’s refusal to leave office

According to a new report from the Washington Post, over 130 Secret Service officers have been infected with coronavirus in the wake of President Trump's campaign travels.

"The spread of the coronavirus — which has sidelined roughly 10 percent of the agency's core security team — is believed to be partly linked to a series of campaign rallies that President Trump held in the weeks before the Nov. 3 election, according to the people, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the situation," the Post reports.

The news comes as a growing number of Trump allies and administration members also test positive for the virus, thanks to events where many people attended while not wear masks.
