Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Friday he wishes President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump a quick recovery after they tested positive for COVID-19, but then the New York Democrat quickly called for contact tracing to be done, including for the president’s Supreme Court nominee.
Mr. Schumer said according to the guidelines put forth by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House must conduct contact tracing to test and isolate anyone that had contact with those infected, which includes top White House aid Hope Hicks.

That includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett and anyone she was in contact with,” Mr. Schumer said. —>READ MORE HERE
