David Bossie, who was recently appointed by the Trump campaign to oversee its legal efforts as it wages baseless claims of election fraud, has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.
Bloomberg News was first to report Bossie’s COVID-19 diagnosis.
Bossie reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday on the White House campus. His COVID-19 diagnosis comes on the heels of White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson testing positive for the novel coronavirus in the past week.
Bossie was tapped by the Trump campaign to assist with its post-election legal strategy after Meadows tested positive on Wednesday.
Bossie is the president of the conservative nonprofit Citizens United and previously served as a deputy campaign manager on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Like Carson and Meadows, Bossie is among the Trumpworld figures who contracted COVID-19 after campaign-related events.
Fellow Trump campaign adviser, Corey Lewandowski, tweeted a photo last week showing that Bossie traveled to a campaign rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin with others in Trump’s orbit. The photo shows Bossie seated at a table with Lewandowski, former Republican National Committee Chair Reince Preibus, first daughter Tiffany Trump and her boyfriend Michael Boulos.

TPM reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
The Biden team must disinfect the White House on 1/20/2021. That place needs a good deep cleaning. I’m not 100% sure he will have a normal inauguration at the Capitol during this pandemic.
I know it’s not an original thought, but WOMP, WOMP. With any luck he will not recover. (Notice I’m not quite ready to forgive and forget.)
Hopefully COVID and a bad case of the Dumb Ass, at the same time, is fatal.
They’re gonna need all the bleach and UV lights they can find. And it still won’t be enough. It’s gonna be like trying to get cat piss out of a hoarder’s house.
If it were me, I’d say let’s have a swearing in ceremony in January and a big party next January when everyone can attend.
