Rudy Giuliani has tested positive for the coronavirus, making him the latest in Donald Trump’s inner circle to contract the disease that is now surging across the U.S.

Giuliani was exhibiting some symptoms and was admitted Sunday to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly.

His diagnosis comes as the United States surpassed a total of 280,000 COVID-19-related deaths and hospitalizations continue to sharply increase.

The 76-year-old former New York City mayor has traveled extensively to battleground states in an effort to help Trump subvert his election loss to president-elect Joe Biden. On numerous occasions, he has met with officials for hours at a time without wearing a mask.

Trump, who announced Giuliani’s positive test in a Sunday afternoon tweet, wished him a speedy recovery.

Global's Jackson Proskow has the story.
